Recommended Posts

I'm finally going to be banded in a couple weeks!! I'm currently doing the pre op diet and with a little help from the Lord will meet my 10% weight loss requirement. Any advice help, or how much you all lost during pre op diet would be great

Congratulations! You will do well on your pre-op just stick to the instructions that your Dr. gave you and you should lose the required weight. I lost about 15 pounds on my pre-op and my husband lost 18.

My 10% is 26 pounds and she is determined that I can loose that much. I'm having a hard time, 12 more days to go! I'm very excited too Barb. I hope and pray the next 12 days go by very quickly.

I had to lose 5 percent during a 6 month supervised Drs visit, I lost considrably more, Than that, during the pre op diet I lost 18 pounds. I lost a total of 80lbs by the time I had my surgery but holding steady now and waiting for my 1st fill.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
