Banded 5 days ago



Recommended Posts

Hi I was banded 5 days ago and the first 2 days I could barely drink anything. I was told to drink slowly and about 2 oz per hr. I have been doing that but now I want more than 2 oz because I'm so hungry!!! Is this normal??

It is. Drink more. Just don't guzzle.

And you will be hungry till you get a fill that gives you restriction. Until then it's just another diet. Bet no one told you about that did they?

Drink as much as you want. You will be hungry its normal. Now is the time to get strong, find other things to do with your time then think about food. It will be over in no time and you will be on to normal life.

Omg thanks for telling me this I felt like I was committing a crime by drinking a little extra and yes ur absolutely right I was not informed of when I was gonna get a fill I was automatically assuming they I was already filled and that I was not gonna be hungry

      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.
