Any September Banders?



Recommended Posts

I am also being banded on September 22nd. Started the two week liquid diet only yesterday. Yuck. I am struggling. But - doctor's orders! But to be young again, though. I am 57 and this is my last shot to get my weight to a healthy weight.

Hi,

I am being banded on the 16th.... Maybe you guys can find the good stuff and share :-) Just teasing, my doctor does not require a liquid diet prior and I am thinking that maybe I should just take it careful anyway.

Good luck to you guys... Scarey huh?

Your going to do fine.. It's very scary because of the unknown.... Yes,

I'm still Ginny Pigging myself until I find something that tastes decent.

F.Y.I. Do Not order the pre-processed protein... Just think about it? you supposedly can take two tablespoons and it's the equivelent of the 4oz.. for a supplement.. I think... IT IS SOOOOO GROSS ! Don't buy it. Just keep asking questions....

Joy,

Thank you so much for that website. It is the answer to a prayer. I had no clue what to do post op. My Dr. does not require a pre-op diet and I was struggling with what to do after the surgery. This looks like a great site.

Thanks, Laura (Waiting for insurance approval for the 16th)

I have 12 more days to go and boy am I really getting nervous. I have been doing my pre op diet which is Atkins like. I have slipped a little but not to bad. I will make sure I stay on track now though since the count down in really on. I am only supposed to do it for 7 days but thought I would get any early start. Trying to wrap my mind around this new lifestyle.

Good luck to all of you who are yet to be banded and congrats to all of you who have already been banded.:biggrin:

Lowbmier,

If all goes as scheduled I am due for surgery on tuesday! It is constantly on my mind but not much for nerves probably until Monday. I was not required to do a pre-op diet and I am a little concerned about that. I think I will just cut way back starting today.

I was just looking at this great site and think I may order the Vitamins from her. It is bariatriceating.com What I really liked is the suggestions for foods. Since I have little information in that regard I really appreciated this site.

GL with the nerves and the surgery..... I am right there with you!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

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

      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!
