Banded on Halloween ????????



Recommended Posts

It's been a long journey I have decided to give lap band 2 years ago I chickened out and told myself if I hadn't lost the way on my own then I would make sure that I got to be in to lose the weight here it is 2014 and I did it the process took a lot. A little frustrating and having to deal with insurance company and the doctors office I was ready to give up but it all work itself out and I am 12 days out and feeling great with the 12 days plus my pre op diet I am down 16 pounds so I'm very excited to see a little weight off. I do pretty good with the pre op diet and the first two weeks out what does no liquids I didn't give any headaches ... I've done liquids before my advice is this just get you ready for your new eating habits ..... So if anybody who is getting ready to get bandit don't hesitate to contact me

Congrats sofab!

Does your band have any Fluid in it? I was originally told I would have 2cc and I felt restriction after surgery but I found out yesterday my band is empty and the swelling was the restriction. Now I'm feeling more hungry which I was told by my surgeon's office is to be expected before my first fill.

Now that I know I have nothing in my band and no restriction my mind is wandering to all the things I could eat (knowing that I am still healing 7 days post op). I wish I had never asked about what was in my band! ????

4 cc in my band after surgery. We are all different because our bodies are different. I received 1 cc on my first fill 3.5 months after surgery

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
