Surgery July 7th!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled on July 7 with Dr. Kim in Celebration, FL. I am scared but at the same time I am so excited. I have been on clears for 6 days now, and I feel proud becasue I've never done anytinig like this before. It is getting easier and I'm able to be more active than I was on days 1-4. I've lost 7 pounds so far.

Welcome, slim! Looks like your post slipped through the cracks yesterday and no one answered you. Sometimes that happens, since there is so much going on at this board every day and a post can get buried. congratulations on sticking with your pre op diet. It does give you a feeling of empowerment, like you are finally taking control of your life, doesn't it?

Hi Slim1 I am being banded on 7/7 also. I am being banded by Dr.Ortiz in Mexico. I am both scared and excited.

I was banded on July 2 and I was scared and excited at the same time. Mostly scared so that is normal. When I woke up from surgery and realized I was alive, that's when the excitement really kicked in! I am doing well and very happy with my decision. Good luck to you all. I have been there and know exactly how you feel. You will be fine. It's hard, but try not to worry.

How did your surgery go? I'm so glad it's over-the anticipation is always the worst. B/c of the pre-op diet, I'm usd to drinking and not eating. So far, so good.

I am also happy with my decision. It's good to be on the other side of the surgery, isn't it?

Slim1,

Can't believe you are up and on the computer already! Glad you are doing good. So how are you feeling today? I'm sure you are sore. I am 6 days post op and doing well. I went back to work today, and trying to take it easy still. I am a little sore still, but not bad. I've lost 9 lbs since surgery, but I don't know how to move my "ticker" yet. 9 lbs gone forever! Looking forward to this lapband journey! Keep us posted! :(

COngratulations on your great weight loss!, and I'm happy to hear you are doing well. Yes, I'm sore but feeling better every day. I'm getting frustrated b/c the scale has not gone anywhere since the day before surgery! (I did lose 12 pounds before surgery.)

Thanks Slim1,

Actually, right after the surgery I gained like 5 lbs due to the I.V. that I was hooked up to for fluids and some gas too I'm sure. So I actually took off the 9 lbs + the temporary 5 lbs gained from surgery. (So 14 total, but I don't count the 5 from surgery). You won't see a weight change for several days, then BOOM!, it just starts falling off! Good luck to you and I am glad you are feeling better! (Now I am going to try to fix this ticker! Thanks!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
