Dilated Pouch Or Band Slip



Recommended Posts

Yes we are supposed to drink lots of Water, and from Water coolers is fine. I just picked up a carbonated water by mistake. My fault.

Did the taste shock you??? LOL, I think carbonated water is sooooo gross.

I just found out today that I have to have revision surgery to correct an incorrect band placement. Is the recovery time the same as for the first surgery?

I would think so. What does your surgeon say?

But... it's hard to predict these things. My recovery from having my flipped port repositioned was harder on me than my original band surgery. My recovery from having my band removed was a piece of cake (but without frosting). My recovery from my sleeve surgery is going fine but it's been harder on me overall - I get tired so easily and don't have much energy.

In my general experience of recovering from surgeries (including an abdominal hysterectomy and a breast reduction), the longer I'm anesthetized for the procedure, the longer my recovery. And since any kind of revision requires the surgeon to deal with scar tissue, I think that probably adds to the time you spend in the operating room.

I'm with you on that. And another nasty thing about it is the way it seems to burn as it goes down my esophagus.

      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.
