January 2013 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I got my approval letter today from Insurance :). Hopefully I will get my surgery date tomorrow. I'm hoping I will be a January bandster. My dr requires a full liquid diet for 10 days so it's going to be close. Getting nervous now.

Where did you get your chewable multiple-vitamin? Any suggestions? My dr said no gummies. Also I just got the twin lab chewable calcium citrate and they are really sour. Anyone have suggestions on those?

I got some from Unjury made specifically for Lap Band patients. They were super nice when I called to order Protein Powder and send several free samples of Vitamins and other flavors of Protein powder

Thanks. I was looking at theirs. I'm going to order some of the cheese sauce I think. I ordered the chicken and unflavored Protein. And am going to try the fuzzy navel Syntrax Nectar. I just got my approval letter so I'm hoping my surgery date will be soon. Just waiting to be scheduled. :) I have completed everything. Excited and nervous at same time!

Hey everyone, I had my surgery yesterday, and I'm feeling pretty good. I had a hiatal hernia they found and repaired while they were in there. Not too many gas pains. I've been walking around a lot. Some incisional pain on the lower left. All in all, feeling good! Also, started out at 331lbs and was 307 lbs yesterday, so I was really happy. Good blood pressure and cardiologist said a healthy heart, so I've been in really good spirits. Since I'm in mexico I also got a tooth fixed for dirt cheap.

Anyway, good luck to you all, let's keep in touch!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
