Surgery Date?



Recommended Posts

Hey gang. I'm new to VST (though I joined ages ago, I'm newly active). When is everyone's surgery date? Mine is Sept 17 at NY-Presbyterian/Columbia. Pre-op diet starts on Labor Day! What a treat... <_<

Is anyone else a revision surgery from the LapBand? Am I the only one?

I'm getting sleeved Sept 5th, sometimes I can't believe it's really going to happen. Sometimes I just get nervous. I started looking at clothes in a store and had to walk away, I have no idea what size I'll end up being but it won't be the one I am right now!

Sept. 18th! Anyone else on Clear Liquids for two weeks? I noticed some say clear liquids, but then say they can eat one Lean Cuisine, or two Vegis, fruit, etc. ... I'm talking full liquids!! Jello is as close to food as I get. It's hard to make dinner for my family, sit at the table with them (I'm not willing to lose dinner time with them), and drink a Protein Shake.< /p>

Hi,

My surgery date is September 27th, I have my pre-op appointment on Wednesday 12th to get instructions on pre-op diet and stress test. I am not too nervous just anxious.... Tell me about your recent experiences. I hear that the first week you feel like you want to die or regret the decision of going forward with the surgery... Anyone felt like that after surgery?

What should I buy now to be ready post op?

Yes, I am nervous too. So many thoughts going through my head. Thankfully I have a friend that did this about a year ago and have seen first hand what she can eat, how she looks and feels and also how her progress has been. I love this board but seeing is believing. But yes, I'm still nervous & scared.

I am nervous but the more I think about it the more I realize this is what I need to do. I keep having these thoughts that maybe I should try the whole eat healthy/exercise thing one more time...then I remember how I always seem to sabotage myself!! I am ready to be skinny again!!! Not looking forward to the liquid diet next week though :) I think the one after surgery will be easier because I won't be hungry!!!

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
