Will anyone be going to their banding apt. alone?



Recommended Posts

Now a friend of mine said that she was going to go with me, however she just told me today that she will have to go to work for a training session. My cousin said that she would go but she has to take her mother to the airport @ 1:30pm and im not sure what time I will be released since it is out patient. So I will be going alone, I know my mother & my brother will be there with me in spirit, but is anyone else being banded alone?

I will be alone :)...

I have done most of the steps alone. I pulled one of my friends arms to go meet the surgeon with me. But for the most part ... it's been allllllll alone! So I will drive myself to the hospital and hitch hike home I guess... LOL! Uh yeah NO home is an hour away :wink2:!

Someone will probably pull through at the last minute!

No hospital with an ounce of ethical responsibility will let you leave without an escort. I even had to sign something saying I would not use public transportation for 24 hours following surgery. This is major surgery, laproscopic or not and you will be under general anesthesia. So no, you will not be able to go it alone. Sorry!!:wink2:

I have a husband, but I am one of those people that when I am under the weather I want everyone to leave me the hell alone. So hubby can drop me off and pick me up, but I want him outta my hair while I'm in the hospital overnight. Maybe I can send him to you??:biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:

It will be fine. I went to Mexico alone, flew home 4 hours and drove back from the airport 2 hours the next day. The day after that I went back to work doing massage. It was a cinch and I'm 58 years old so you won't have any problems. Gotta love yourself enough to hold your own hand.

Good vibes are being sent your way from all of us.

Blessings,

Sally

      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.
