Graphic Pictures of My Band



Recommended Posts

I just went through my photo album and found a picture of my band being put in place. It's graphic to some as it is a picture of my insides but I found it pretty interesting. There is a picture os my liver on the top right and you can see the band being placed on my stomach in the other shots.

Yes all that yellow stuff is fat. Puts a different spin on junk food for me! Anyway, just wanted to help inform and enlighten.

I believe that every laproscopic procedure has pictures taken. I was handed my pictures from my colonoscopy, (yuch).

Did you have to ask for the pictures, or did he just give them to you?

I did have to request the pictures. I asked if they would record the surgery and was told it was against policy. I can understand that. I mean, if something was to go wrong, they would not proof floating around out there!

My doc was super cool and he was more than happy to take and print the pictures. I did ask in advance and reminded them again that morning. It's not the kind of thing you can go back and do again so make sure your staff knows how much it means to get the pictures. I'm sure they will do it!

      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.
