Revision done on Monday Home today, feel great!



Recommended Posts

I had my revision on MOnday at Lehigh Valley Hospital. I ended up having a hiatal hernia that he repaired while he was in there but everything went great. I had to stay until today because after surgery my bladder always shuts down for 4 or 5 days so the worst part was getting cathed 5 times in the past three days. The pain was not bad at all and I had minimal gass, Just a little sore when I get up and down. I am so happy my band is gone, and ready to start my life being sleeved.

I had a revision surgery on march 19,2013. It was simple. I had complications with the band( was banded march 2008). Lost 60 lbs but was deflated.mi have lost 40 lbs since the revision. I had the surgery on a tuesday and was back at work that Monday . The best thing that has happened to me!

      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.
