It's good to read how everyone is doing. I wonder about the hernias, too. I think all pre-ops have upper GIs at my center. I would think that test would detect the hernia. I knew before that I had a hiatal hernia, from an endoscopy in 2003. The Dr. said that test was too old to be relevant.

I've been checking on how many of us September bandsters are 50+ years of age. There are at least 15 of us. I know there are more, I just need to go back and find you!

Wishing you all a great band experience.

Well i had my surgery today, but don't remember much lol..woke up in recovery they gave me lots of pain meds and i had no trouble sipping Water so they sent me home. My surgery was @ 11a and i was out by 230p.

I had a hernia too that was repaired. Isn't it weird that so many of us had hernia and not know about it? I guess doctors don't check for it. Anyway I am having trouble sleeping now, due to gas in my shoulder and the pain meds keep me awake. They always did. but i'd rather be kept awake than in pain.

Good luck to everyone who is scheduled for tomorrow!

Congrats! Happy that you are home and doing well.:)

I am shocked, but i want to be added to the September banding list. I got my insurance approval on Friday and I called to schedule my surgery. My doctor’s office called me back on Tuesday of this week and asked how does Friday sound. I am shocked. I have not had my results appointment yet so that is tomorrow as well as my pre op appointment at the hospital. I have been trying to get insurance approval for a year and bam…here it is. I don’t have time to get nervous. I will find out tomorrow from my doctor what I need to do after the surgery and I will have to shop for liquids I am aloud. This is happening so quickly, anyone have advice on what they were ate after surgery? I feel like I am on Mr. Toad’s wild ride. My head is spinning but I have been waiting for this for so long.

Seems every surgeon has their own preferences on pre op and post op diets. I had surgery yesterday and on Clear Liquids today, add Protein Shakes tomorrow up till I see my doctor next weekl. Then i can add mushies and then Protein and veggies Mine has forbidden carbs until my fill. But thats ok with me, i always lose weight faster when i do not eat carbs :tt1:

Hi Argyle, I think you have the most exciting week of any of us! I hope you can get some sleep or rest in!

I froze many of my post-op liquids in ice cube trays. An ice cube size is 1 oz. That way, I had measured fluids ready for the microwave. I did broths, and pureed Soups, which I was allowed on day 3. Also creamed hot Cereal was frozen in ice cube trays. That way I didn't have to think about food prep post-op, and liquids were measured, so logging them was easy. My Dr. wants to look at our food logs, so that helps keep me on track! I had only 48 hours of clear liquids, and then if I felt ready I could start on full liquids.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
