Does everyone have problem with band post PG?



Recommended Posts

HI, I'm being banded 4-23-08, and am currentl 275, on a 5"8 frame. We have two wonderfull DD. BUt know we want one more, I was thinking to wait until after the 3rd to get the band, but hell no I'm NOT getting PG at my highest weight! NO WAY! SO....my question is once I get down to a decent weight, I"m shooting for around 200-210, and then possibly trying....seems by the posts that a lot of you have problems, not during the PG's but AFTER. I think I would just die if I lost all that weight, looked and felt better, and then to gain it all back. I never threw up with any of my PG's, just constantly nauseous for three months, but every PG is diff. and I can't say that I wouldn't with the third.

SO is it really common to have problems after? Maybe it being PG ahifts your anatomy some? Like pushes things up and around for 9 months, and thats what can causes problems after? IDK, I"m kinda freaking out, I want one more but I have to be here in the long run for the two I already have KWIM? Can anyone shed some light here?:teeth_smile:

      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.
