I had my surgery on Friday the 13th. The first night was tough finding the right meds to manage the pain and I also had a Migraine. I was also nauseous and vomited a lot. It was a rough night.

The next morning my doctor adjusted the meds and I have been doing well ever since.

I came home from the hospital yesterday. And I am doing well with the normal aches and pains.

Good luck to everyone.

Hey ladies - I’ve been absent a few days and way behind. My dad’s health has deteriorated and he’s been put in hospice. Just spending all the time I can with him and supporting my mom.

I’ll try and check in as I can.

Hey all ... had surgery on Tuesday to remove my band and possibly convert to sleeve. My scar tissue was way too much to do the sleeve and they had a lot of trouble getting the port part of the band to budge out. Post op pain has been horrible. Considering how much they had to manipulate the larger incision to get the port out, I’m suffering more than the usual patient. Not sure I still want to go through with the sleeve and have a fourth surgery. I am healing and recovering though and the freedom of no pain or acid reflux from the band has been great though!

Paperwork is officially submitted for insurance approval. Fingers crossed and if anyone has any extra patience to get me through the waiting, send it my way!

So tomorrow is the day.

😬😬😬

Just got my arrival time of 9:30am. Totally overcome with nerves. Wondering what the hell I am putting myself through. But I’ve got so much time and effort invested in this. I’m sure these are just pre-surgery jitters.

      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.
