Anyone Being Banded in November???



Recommended Posts

I think I will be a November bandster as well. Tomorrow I complete the pre op orientation meeting and this Friday I attend another educational meeting.

I see the surgeon on October 8, so I am very close to getting banded. I need an upper GI, blood work, and stool sample completed, but have to wait until the surgeon orders those tests. So I am thinking, I will get a sugery date for November. It will be the best Christmas gift I ever give myself (the gift of health). :cry_smile:

Lcubed, I'm tenatively scheduled for November 10th also. It was the 3rd of November, but moved to the 10th. If all heals ( please see my previous posts ) I will finally be an official bandster! My healing has been slow, but I am improving. Let's hope after November 10th we can swap surgery stories!

No longer a November bandster. :thumbup: I'm not all healed up yet, so my surgery was rescheduled for January. I'm kinda bummed today, afterall today was to be my surgery day. I know my time will come, I'm healing more and more every day. It has been what seems like forever, but it's only about the size of a quarter now. Please continue to pray for my healing and I too, shall pray for all of you that your surgeries go well and that you all are great successes!

      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.
