I got my lap band yesterday



Recommended Posts

I have been waiting for years to finally start this journey and I am so excited! Yesterday I was in alot of pain, today it's mainly discomfort. Before my pre op diet I was 243, yesterday at the hospital I weighed in at 229! So far so good!

Great job and glad to hear your feeling well. Welcome to the Lap Band club!

I had my revision & plication yesterday also and so far I am doing well...just feel like I've done a ton of sit ups and am pretty tender. Unfortunately, my surgery had some complications and my surgeon had to remove a ton of scar tissue/adhesions from previous abdominal surgeries. So excited to have a working band again and get full on a few sips of liquids!

Good luck!

How are you feeling today? Holding up and enjoying your Protein shakes? What are your diet restrictions and plan?

I'm sick of 'sweet' already so we went grocery shipping last night and picked up some Tomato juice, chicken broth, sweet potato puree, pudding, ricotta cheese, grits, Noosa Yoghurt, and a few other things for the future as my diet progresses.

Even after having had a band for 10 years especially with not having any great restriction in the past three years up until now just looking at the size of my Noosa Yoghurt has me overwhelmed as it looks like way too much food! Hope my head and my stomach stay in sync and I can continue to be in that same state of mind for a long while to come!

Hoping your doing well!

I just had some strawberry Jello and I made it through the cup without freaking out! So happy right now. Later I'm going to have done Greek yogurt.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
