March 10th Here I'm having revision from LapBand to sleeve. Dee

I'm having my revision on March 11th. I was scheduled originally for December, and got cold feet. I've had some time now to better mentally prepare. This board has helped so much with putting things in perspective. My fears are bleeding and leaking. But I trust in God, my surgeon, and positive thinking.

KajunGumbo- did your surgeon mention anything about using bigger staples for the scar tissue the band may have created?

No he didn't, I have fears as well, so many things can go wrong during & after any surgery. I worry that I am risking so much for a second time. I think fear is normal & for good reasons.

There are 2 March threads so I combined everyone from both on to one list by surgery date. I would love so much to keep in touch with everyone as we go through our journeys. !

Hello

Please add me to your list. Hopefully got a date for 31st March.

March Tortoises... as in "slow and steady wins the race". I don't want to be a mad March hare!

Proud to be a tortoise and take it one slow step forwards at a time and win this battle once and for all.

      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.
