Fabulous February!



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow morning is my pre-op appointment. I am really stressed out about work because my temp just started on Friday. Worried about what they will be checking at the doctors. What if they cancel me?

Pre op in morning for me too Jenn. You will be great! Lots to worry about. It's perfectly normal. 3 days to go. :)

Hi! I'm new! Been reading blogs for the last couple of weeks and now it's time to post :-). Band to RNY revision on 2/19/13 so please add me to your Fab Febs :-)

I have 4 kids (12 girl, 10 boy, 7 boy, and 3 girl). Happily married for 16 years.

You all are so amazing and inspiring! Your amazing journeys are awesome to follow as I venture on mine. I did not have to do any Pre-op diet for my band in 2007. This time I have a new to me and MUCH better doc for revision to RNY.

I started the liver reduction diet Jan 31 then went to liquid only on Feb 11. Tomorrow is Clear Liquids only then Tuesday is the BIG DAY! I won't know for sure I got the RNY til I wake up abs someone tells me. My doc scheduled both procedures - band and port removal then RNY for same OR time block. 4 to 4 1/2 hours! Doesn't that seen long?! I know that's total time for the OR which included prep, surgery, and clean up. Anyone else with something similar?

I'm nervous, anxious, excited all at the same time. Thanks for letting me join your group!

Tomorrow morning, 8am, can't wait! I'm so ready for this, but I'm also nervous. I'm glad to see everyone whose already had their surgery in Feb is doing well. Can't wait to be over with this and start my new path.

There's several of us band to bypass folks lurking around :). I unfortunately had to have an urgent band removal secondary to prolapse in August, he was going to revise to RNY but when I woke up from surgery mom had the horrible job of telling me I had to much damage and inflammation from my damn band to do the revision and I had to wait 6 months for my RNY....that sucked!!!! But I'll be a week post op tomorrow so it all works out!!!! Glad you joined our group!!!!!

welcome Tiffany :) it's a huge, exciting, nerve wracking decision but just by making the decision you are so much closer to a healthier you!!!! My best advice, just start reading! There's tons and tons of info on here. From diet and exercise, to relationships. You name it, someone here has probably been through it!!! I'd probably start under the basics for gastric bypass for beginners. There's a zillions pre-op threads (this is one of them) where people who are thinking about getting the surgery or are in the process and waiting for surgery talk and a zillion post-op threads from those of us lucky enough to be on the flip side. Jump I'm anywhere. Most people around here are happy to offer suggestions, opinions, or a shoulder to cry on!!!!

Any idea how long it will take you? Do you have the dreaded 6 months of weigh ins for your insurance???

No my insurance approved me already! Next step is the one weight management class and losing 15 lbs before surgery... I'm really scared but that's to be expected I'm sure! My surgeon said after insurance sends them papers back I should be on the operating table next month sometime! And thanks for the advice I will start reading where you said to. I've kinda just been skimming over things and reading them.

      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.
