Banded Tomorrow----way so nervous



Recommended Posts

Soooo....im scheduled to have my banding tomorrow......im am literaly so nervous.... first because im scared something will happen and i cant have it done. It was already rescheduled once b/c of the MDs schedule he couldnt do it. Well now I have done my 10 day liquid diet and today my bowel prep( omg...horrible). My surgery is Outpatient and im just really worried....not about the surgery but that something will happen or go wrong...Btw bowel prep sucks... i had to drink 32 oz gatorade with Miralax in it...Made me gag with every drink!!! Is anyone else getting banded tomorrow? If so let me know how you do?

I get banded in the morning. Good luck to you. My pre-op diet lasted two weeks and wasn't too bad. No bowel prep, sounds like I should be thankful for that. However, I take Miralax a lot, it's the gatorade I don't care for.

Keep positive.

Good luck to both of you! I know you must be terribly nervous! I get banded in a week, and I'm nervous already. I'm sure you will be fine, though. We will all be thinking of you, as you are the first mayo Banditos to have surgery!! We hope you will come back and tell us how well it went. There is a thread started called "Surgery Stories.":smile:

Jada, where are you in VA? I'm in No. VA.

      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.
