First fill scheduled--next MONTH!



Recommended Posts

Argh. I've been so busy with a new job and all that I completely spaced on having a 6-week postop checkup. So it wasn't until more than 8 weeks later that I went in, and got clearance to schedule my first fill. Then I did the phone-tag dance with the office for three days, and by the time I connected with someone it was a week later.

Finally I have my fill scheduled...on NOVEMBER 29!! Argh. It will be all I can do to maintain until then, but will have to face Thanksgiving with no restriction!! Oh boy. :rolleyes:

Hey Alex. I'm sorry to hear about your fill delay. Maybe they will have a cancellation and be able to get you in sooner. I hope everything else is going well. Are you finding this re-banding to be just like the first time around or is it a whole new ball game?

Hey Alex,

That wait is a bummer but the weight is even more of one! Just remember that over the holiday. You've been here before so just remember to make good choices. Good luck!

      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.

      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.
