September surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm so sorry to hear that. I am having surgery tomorrow the 16th and might be in your boat. I've had my band for 9 years and am so concerned that I will have to wait another three months to have the bypass. Even if they can't do it all tomorrow, I will be thrilled to get my band out.

So sorry to hear that. It was one of my biggest fears as well. I had mine removed and revise this afternoon. I had my band in for almost 11 years. I'm having a lot of pain but my surgeon said it all went well

Hang in there. :)

My surgery was yesterday, they took such good care of me in surgery & recover and up here in my room! I have been walking a lot & doing great. My mom when she had the surgery in march had a bad time with the gas pains from where the 'blow you up' so I was really expecting that. I haven't had that tho. The worst I had was a horrible pain in my sternum and extreme nausea after waking up. Dr did say he could tell I did perfectly ok my liquid diet, and had lost 15lbs in that 10 days. Now only 100 more to go, ahhhh.... ????

Still at this point haven't had anything but ice chips!

Hope everyone is healing well and everyone who has surgery today, I'm sending prayers your way!!!

I am feeling like a yo-yo. I just got a call from the surgeon, himself. Because I am still on steroids (at the end of the tapering dose), he wants to postpone the surgery 3-6 weeks to avoid risk of leakage at the staple/stitch sites and not increase the risk of infection. So they'll call today with another date. So Aug was postponed until Sept, Sept will postponed until Oct or Nov. I am ok. Still singing Que Sera, Sera. It all happens for a reason.

For everybody else having surgery this month, best wishes for complete healing!

Heading home tonight!! So excited, feeling good, better than I thought I would today, the day after. Learned that hard lesson of not swallowing air when I drink and fat free vanilla pudding has never taste so good!

I hope everyone is doing great, can't wait to hear from everyone as you are recovering!!!

Wow so happy to see other September surgeries doing so well. Here is my update: today is day 5 post po and I am hungry. Starting tomorrow about moving up from 60g of Protein to 65g of protein working up to 80g a day. Cold Water is so much better then room temp.

I finally move alot lol of gas yesterday and feel almost normal today.

I still have pain but because I can move the gas the pain is alot less. I weigh myself today and from day of surgery I'm down 9lbs (I hope that is not to fast) is it normal that I dream about food? I'm walking more every day and I walked down my stairs yesterday and today. Just wanted this soreness to go away. But I'm happy ????

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
