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!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
