New Surgery Date 10/08/2008!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I got a new doctor and now a new surgery date, my insurance just approved me again but with this new doctor, I believe I will be much happier and will be more satisfied with his work, He will be doing my surgery with only one hole and using my belly button to go through so he wont have to make all those holes everyone else has had to have, things are changing and that means less scarring as well as healing so that is great.

Anyone having surgery around this time , lets be buddies.

I have made alot of good email buddies from here and it has been a great experience one which I wouldnt change. There is so much info we can take from here so who ever created this web site "thanks"

To anyone who has already had the band or going to have it done good luck and take care!!!! :smile:

Congrats Becky. I have heard about the one incision surgery but my doc doesn't do it. I am just praying I don't get converted to open. That is literally the one and only thing I am nervous about!

I assume your preop starts today - good luck with that. It has it's bad moments, but if you try to keep occupied it helps a ton!

      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.
