a look back at losing my band, please read!



Recommended Posts

almost a year out i broke my stitches lifting something and the band slipped.

Here is the post that Janine explained why she lost her band.

I am more worried than ever that I will lose my band. I went for a fill on Sunday and I am too tight for sure. I can hardly hold anything down depending on the time of day and I have been having waves of nausea constantly. Is that a sign of something worse than being too full? I am not in any pain. Just nausaus and slimming alot. Help! Can someone tell me if I should be worried that it is more than just needing a bit taken out. I am going tomorrow to get a slight unfill.

Thanks for sharing Janine!

You are right we are compulsive eaters! It's like AA... we can't even have one! Whether it's potato chips, m&m's, icecream! We have to eat because we KNOW (LOL) food will spoil if we don't eat at all! I am newly banded and still get full quick. I hope this feeling last! I know that the band is part of me and I will have to live by its rules! But I can't go back to where I was!

Thanks for sharing your story and bringing awareness to us!!! Take care and good luck on your new band!

Teresa

      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.
