Leaving you guys - getting band removed and having gastric bypass.



Recommended Posts

I found out this morning that I need to have my band removed. I have too much acid reflux. Most of the time it gets better with weight loss but the band was just making it worse. I'm going to have gastric bypass and doc said I wouldn't have any more acid reflux. Little nervous but ready to not have such stomach pain.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I do have a question though-did they tell you whether or not you had a hiatal hernia prior to your band? I had horrible acid reflux prior to the band and depended on medication for the help..come to find out I had a hiatal hernia. My surgeon also expressed to me that the band wouldn't be effective if the hernia wasn't repaired. I'm just wondering if maybe this is contributing to your problem...just a thought. best of luck to you!!!:unsure:

I'm sorry you have to leave us. I do hope you have lots of success with the bypass.

I also hope you're luckier than my friend. She had it done five years ago, lost 275 pounds, suffered from various medical problems and now has gained it all back.

Good luck. You deserve to lose your weight and be happy with a new body.

I wish you luck as one who never had success with the band and didn't find it until her gastric bypass. Good luck and hope your recovery is an easy one! Take care, Nancy.

      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?

      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.
