New Years Eve Surgery!!!



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited to start my 2013 banded!!! I can't think of anything I want for Christmas because I hope that I won't even wear the same size socks in 3 months!! LOL!!

Any words of advice for a new member of the banded life?

Congratulations on your upcoming Band date!

Best advice I could give you is to learn all there is to know about the band. Starting here is a great place. I hung out here for 7mths before my banding and I learned more here than anywhere else.

Also I'd start practicing LB rules, so you can be use to things before surgery.

Try different Protein shakes, so after surgery you have something you like.

Post often and ask all the questions you need answers to.

Looks like you two won't be eating chip n dips when the bowl games start. You will be healing and on liquids.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

The straw is one of the much debated subjects here. My Dr said no straws, causes to much air into stomach, but as you'll find all Drs are different.LOL

Does your book talk about "Bandsters Hell"? Never heard that one until I came here.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
