Should you be unfilled for another surgery?



Recommended Posts

Kelly, I had Gallbaladder Surgery after being banded and filled. I did not need to get my band unfilled to have surgery. I informed my surgeons that I am banded so they knew to be extra careful when putting me under.... post surgery there were no problems either.

Ms Kelly, sorry to hear about your upcoming surgery.

I thought about you while I was in recovery with my latest surgery (Uterus removeal). I have alway done well recovering out of surgery but not this time. I don't know if it was the spinal they gave me??

What Alexandra said

in terms of a negative reaction to anaesthesia causing vomiting.
It was more like dry heaves and they did give me something for it, I don't remember what they called it.

Please keep us informed, I'll be thinking about you.

But, no unfill was OK!

I am feeling much better, thank you Vinesqueen. I get up real stiff in the morning, but once I get moving I feel better. And by the end of the day I end up the same way, its hard to sit at a desk all day when your this sore. Well, I'm still taking my percocet (sp?) at night to get a good night sleep. I love that stuff. Thanks again.

      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.
