August 28th is the Date!



Recommended Posts

I finally got my surgery date! Tuesday 8/28/07. I am having it done at Legacy Good Sam in Portland, OR. I can't believe I have finally gone thru the hoops and have a date. My mom is coming up from CA for my surgery and is coming a week early so we can play! I know the 28th will be here before I know it.

Congratulations! You must be so excited. It's good that your mom will be there to help you. My mom will also be helping me with the kids for a couple of days after my surgery on Wednesday. Good luck!

Hi to all of you, I was banded on the 28th as well. Things are going pretty well. I found out today that my doctor did a hiatal hernia repair when he placed the band. Maybe that is what is making me feel as if I can't take a deep breath? Did any of you have the repair?

I had a hiatal hernia repair too. I only seem to have trouble w. deep breaths when I first get up and am stiff. I do have the referred gas pain in my left shoulder and just lots of gas pain...I do not care for that!

      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.
