Dec 20 Banding!



Recommended Posts

I heard back from the doctor today and I get banded on December 20! Anybody else too?

I am excited and nervous- I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I'm going out with my boyfriend for dinner tonight :(

Hi,

Congrats I'm scheduled for December 20th as well. Best of luck let's keep in touch!

What part of Texas are you in? I'm in DFW

... never mind. :rolleyes:

My date got canceled last minute. They called me at 10:30 last night to tell me not to come in at 6:00 am like they had planned

I feel like crap. It's because my father had a bad reaction to anesthetic and nearly died. Now I might have to wait up to a month more for my banding. :(

What a horrible let down! I think I would have been too upset to even get out of bed today! We're here for you if you need to talk/vent/scream. Let us know about a rescheduled time.

Oh- I haven't.

The doctor said he would call at 8:00 am this morning to discuss planning another, but no call yet ...:faint:

:clap2:had surgery thursday.. Got to see the band this morning as they did contrast x-rays before they would let me drink anything...It was very different to see that wrapped around my stomach.

I am uncomfortable and getting up and down isn't much fun but other than that I am doing oK. But then again I am sure the morphine they were pumping into me helped out quite a bit.

I have gas-x and peppermint tea to help out with the pressure..

My shoulder hurts but from reading on here- it is just gas.

WIsh me luck ladies and I will catch up later this week when I am little better.

      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.
