About 27 Months Out



Recommended Posts

Had lap band surgery 6/2010 and I'm down 152 pound with about 20-30 pounds more that I would like to lose. I need a Tummy Tuck & breast lift (that I think my insurance will cover) and of course I'd love a thigh lift, arm lift.....and face lift. My biggest issue is reflux that just started a month ago....ugh!!!!

Generally reflux is a sign that you are too tight, you may need some Fluid taken out. It's really weird and I don't have the explanation but it seems to occur quite often 2 - 3 years out. I had the same thing happen to me earlier this year.

Great results! I am not even a month post op and hearing success after that time period is just what I need to hear... so many people you hear say that banding doesn't work at all but here I feel that it can be successful if worked and used correctly! Hope you feel a little better and way to go!

I had my last fill the first part of June 2012 & the reflux started about 3 weeks ago. It's just weird, it will hit 2....3 am, like anything in my stomach will "wash up". If this keeps up much longer, I'll call my dr.

Yes....I look pretty good....as long as I keep my clothes on!!! Most importantly, I feel so much better!!

      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.
