Had My Band Revised Today!



Recommended Posts

So I had to get a band revision because my band had flipped itself. Well I had it about 10 this morning the surgery only took about 20 min and I woke up about 11 and I was worried because when I woke up from the surgery the first time I freaked out! But I woke up feeling great!! They did use the gas so no gas pains yay!!! Im still feeling pretty good...just a little sore at the incision site. Also, they found out my band was flipped when I went to get my first fill so I wasnt able to get my fill so today they went ahead and gave me my first fill! I could not be happier right now! :) thanks to everyone for the support because I know when I first found out I was a mess but I got through it! Now back to the weight loss!!

      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.
