Hi - Just Banded 10/22/07



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I had my surgery on 10/22/07. I've had some ups and downs this week with blood sugar problems, but overall feel I'm doing well and am planning to go back to work tomorrow. My dietician recommended the Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder, which I'm using. While the taste isn't too bad, the smell of it is awful (at least to me). Anyone have suggestions for another brand to try?

Congratulations!!! I myself was just banded on October 25/07. I am feeling great and since the start of my pre-op diet I have lost 9lbs.

Best of luck

Hi...I was banded on September 19th and am down 48lbs :clap2:since I started my liquid diet on September 4th. I use the IDS liquid whey Protein the 42g. The fruit punch is delicious and the grape is also pretty good. It is kind of thick like Jello Water so I cut it a bit with water. You can get it from smoothie king to try but I order it online buying 2 cases at a time. I order it from supplementwarehouse.com. It doesn't smell bad unless something is wrong with it. Good luck :Dthis has been the best thing I ever did for myself. I have felt fabulous, no nausea, pain or hunger. It has been a blessing.

Good luck, Kerri

      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?
