Sleeve Plication Surgery Scheduled For 12/21/11



Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is Kelly!

I had lap-band surgery in 2002, weighing 220+. I initially lost 73 lbs, with my lowest weight being 147. I hovered around 153 for several years, where I was quite happy. After multiple surgeries for disconnected tubing, band slippage x2 & a hiatal hernia, My doc took out all my restriction 6 monthes ago when I was diagnosed with a second hiatal hernia & band slippage, once again, resulting in an 18.5 lb gain. I now weigh 174!

Wednesday, 12/21/11, I will go in for a hernia repair, to resecure my band & sleeve plication. I am both anxious & excited!!!

Any insight on this new adventure would be appreciated!!!

Hi Kelly and welcome. I've not done well with this surgery, but hopefully given that you've already done so well with just the band you'll do well. Good luck for Wednesday! smile.gif

      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.
