Where here....And she's banded!



Recommended Posts

Agnes did GREAT! She was in and out in 30 min and the doctor said that it could not have gone better. She was PASSED OUT! to say the least after surgery. Got her up walked around for about 5 min, then back to sleep she went.

We meet some WONDERFUL ladies who were getting the surgery done today and they were great (and so was there guests) So thank you ladies for spending time with us.

She's still there, could have come back but she had her own TV and was confe so she decided to stay till morning.

So you all have another one that just joined your elite club and I do have to say that I am proud of her and each and everyone of you and my heart goes out to all of you for your efforts and hard work.

Here it begins and it will only get better from here. Thank you all and will be sure to keep in touch

Love ya,

Erick (Enote) and wife Agnes

P.S.

Do me a favor dont ever do this surgery alone! Take a friend, a loved one, a co-worker, hell who ever. I saw a guy getting the surgery and he was all alone and my heart sank for him. Now he could not have had anyone but this was a VERY nice guy and I know he had some friends.

So my point is PLEASE take someone cause I could not imagine having to do this by my self. And if you have no one, pay for my airfare and I will be by your side...:smile2:

What a nice thing to say --"pay for my airfare, and I will be by your side!" There was a woman who was all alone when I was banded.

Congrats to Agnes! I hope she is still feeling well.

I was all alone, through choice.

I'm grouchy when in pain, or stressed, or whatever, and just wanted to do it by myself!

Glad to hear Agnes is doing well. You, my kind sir, sound like a gem of a husband!

You are a special man and an awesome support system to your wife! I congratulate you both on a wonderful life together. And thank you for not becoming discouraged when some people tried to tell Agnes to reconsider.

I had a support system during the surgery and I didnt expect for everyone who was there to show up but I was so relieved and recovery has been wonderful. A positive outlook does make a difference.

Best wishes to you and your wife.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
