Who's Getting Banded in July?



Recommended Posts

Hi BeverlyDiane,

I felt the same way until I started having Soup at least once a day all the sweetness from the shakes was making me sick, plus I was using the myoplex ready to drink at work and it was making me gassy. The soup really helped now I am on my way to surgery tomorrow. I'm going to miss being able to mix my fruit in my shake after today, but I was told I couldn't have fruit in my shake postop.

Hi, I got my band at 10:30 this morning. Dr. Curry in Cincinnati Ohio was my surgeon. He is so great and so are all his staff.I feel a little sore but other than that I am doing fine. I spend tonite inn a hotel then return home. I live about 4 hours away. I highly recommend him.:seeya::thumbup::ihih:

I wish everyone getting their bands as good of an experience as me. moocatschade

Hi Mackie:

I don't know if a knot is normal or not. I don't have one. Can you be a little more descriptive? Do you mean a knot near your breastbone? Or a knot near your long port scar which is probably more common?

I recommend you post this question in the post-surgery area and see if anyone has had experience with it. I hope you get an answer, but anytime you are worried about something - call your doctor immediately!

Good luck and keep us updated.

Thanks Susan it work.When Im online I stay on these forums,I read alot.This helps me and you help me. Thanks so much.

I need to ask something, I have a knot right above where my band is.

Is this normal?

Thanks Mackie

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
