When is your surgery?



Recommended Posts

I just received the call! My surgery is scheduled for Nov. 25 at 10:30 :redface:

They could have scheduled me a week earlier but in the afternoon. We have a 2 year old so I pushed for an AM appointment. I wanted DH to have time to be with me after surgery before picking up our son from daycare. This is the perfect time for me!! It's 2 days after DS's birthday, 2 days before a holiday so I have a lot of time off and it's during a mini-break for my MBA program.

I'm so excited!!! I look forward to getting to know all of the other "Notorious Novembers" :w00t:

YAY congrats! That's just two days before Turkey Day! Boy, that should be fun, haha. My surgery is Nov. 5th, so I'll have 3 weeks to recover before I'm faced with preparing Thanksgiving dinner for about 10 people! :redface:

Well, we're having everyone over the weekend before for my son's birthday so I'm thinking of doing Thanksgiving then. Otherwise, it will be just the three of us on the actual holiday so that's not a big deal.

Hi all Notorius November Bandsters!

I have an official...change of surgery date! My new date is Nov. 19th, so I will be joining the ranks of allymb, cappy, tonice & janesays!

It is actually ok, another week to fully prepare (good for procrastinators, hehe). Am glad it is getting into the fall/cooler months, so I won't 'sweat' the recovery days...literally! Have a good day of healthy choices! :)

Hello all. my surgery date for the band has been set for November 24th, I got this date when I went for my surgical consult back in July. so today i go for my upper GI and my esophageal manometry and my gastro doc tells me there may be an issue with getting the band because of these tests, says something about something being irregular (which is fine for every day but not for someone to get the band), says that the band may cause me to gag, reflux, throw up, etc. so I should discuss the gastric bypass with my surgeon. If I don't have the choice then of course I'll go with the bypass as I am determined to do something now. Once I talk to my surgeon I'll know more.

      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.
