Anyone Getting Banded In September?



Recommended Posts

Hi September Bandsters,

I just posted my surgery experience on "Post Op Forum" under, Surgery yesterday/things did not go as hoped.

I hope all of you are doing well and T&P to all who are recovering and those who are having surgery.

Hey everyone, just checking in. I was banded on Monday. Doc had me stay overnight just as a precautionary. Went home Tuesday and am now on a full liquid diet, taking in 2-3 ounces per hour. I'm also sipping my Water throughout the day. Still in a bit of pain when I go to stand up or sit down. Getting out of bed is difficult and I can only lay on my back. You never realize just how much you use your abdominal muscles until you can't! I've been up walking around, went to the grocery store yesterday and went to Walmart this morning to pick up a few things. I have my Mom staying with me until Saturday. Good luck to all the bandsters to come! :)

Hi everyone!

I got banded Tuesday and I'm doing good. I've been taking the pain medicine once a day and that's working for me bc it taste awful. I'm mostly in pain when I get up from sitting other than that pretty good. In fact, right now I'm getting a pedi :) and hoping to go back to work tomorrow.

I'll keep y'all posted :) (I'm a Louisiana girl :))

Surgery first thing in the Am. Nervous as heck, never have had surgery. My surgeon told me at the Pre-op that he would definitely have some Valium waiting on me lol I guess he could tell I was anxious!

Don't worry! Everything will be fine. Nervousness is normal, but you'll be okay! I was out cold before I even got to the operating room, and have no memory of initially waking up. Things were very pleasant other than being sore which is to be expected. Good luck, and keep us posted!

Are you kidding me? You're one person! The good outweighs the risk by far. I'm sorry that you're having problems, but don't try to make the rest of us think it's all bad. All of my banded friends are doing great and love it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
