Cancer Free and now Lapband



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

It has been 2 1/2 years since my treatment for Cancer and am Grateful to the Lord everday that I am alive and Cancer Free. I had Lymphoma and was treated at Yale New Haven Cancer Center in CT. I'm so thankful that my Oncologist has given me the green light to have the lapband procedure. Has anyone here on the LBT board know of anyone who had cancer and then got the lapband. I did meet someone at a Seminar who had breast cancer and then got the lapband and she has been successful.

Renee,

Praise God for your recovery and We'll pray for as great a success with your banding.

My 23 yr old daughter just had cancer surgery this past June and although its still recent she has been doing very well. She Recently had further problems as the Dr's thought she had Colon cancer. I know its hard to believe anyone would be happy to find out they have chrones but she was glad it wasn't cancer.

Take care and keep us posted

Corgi, I'm always really bad with this kind of subject. I never know the right words to say, but I want you to know that my heart is saying all the right stuff, I just can't seem to make the words follow. But it's all good, and I'm so happy for you. Good luck to you.

Hi Renee

Congratulations both ways.

I don't know anyone who has suffered cancer and has been banded. But I know cancer is awful and watched my sister battle it.

Best of luck to you.

Greg,

Crohns and Ulcerated Colitis are in the same family, I know because I have UC. As long as your daughter takes her meds and gets regular check ups she will be fine.

Everyone,

There is so much LOVE here thanks for all your encouraging words.

I am truly sorry to hear about your son but grateful to hear about your other son. I lost my Aunt about 4 years ago and then a dear close friend to breast cancer last year. Until it happens you or your family, it is so hard to understand, it is so ugly. But their is a God who is bigger then Cancer. I wish you peace.

Renee

      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.
