It will get better. After about 3 or 4 days the headaches and withdrawls will go away. It will be worth it in the end .

Good Luck! My surgery was Wednesday. I may be in pain now but I know it will be worth it.

They put you under for an EGD. Yes you need to take the day off and someone needs to drive you. It's a quick procedure. -

Yes, they repaired it yesterday. You can get it from reflux, obesity, or throwing up a lot. -

I had my hiatal hernia repaired. I was aware I had one, turns out it was pretty large. It's liquid vicodin. It's some pretty good stuff. If I were you I would also ask for neasua medication. Since in not eating the lining of my stomach gets jnflammed from the meds. -

I was banded yesterday by Dr Hollis through True Results. My advocate was Rachel and she was amazing. I was told what my portion would cost the day of my initial appointment because I requested preapproval through their website before even having a consult. Dr Hollis was wonderful, great bedside manner. Just wish this gas pain would go away now! -
I'm getting ready to head out and cannot believe how nervous I am. I'll post an update this evening. Good Luck to all the June 27th bandsters.

Dr Hollis Surgery Days.

I started my preop diet a week early to help with the adjustment. I was on the same diet you mentioned but there were days that I wasn't hungry so I would just drink a shake for dinner. After the first week you adjust, the headaches go away and you don't feel like you're starving anymore. -
What Kind Of Pre-Op Testing?
cmoody821 replied to Anali11's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had my appointment at the end of May and had a pulmonary function test, EKG, and blood work done. A psych eval and a few weeks later an EGD. My surgery is tomorrow so it took about a month for everything including insurance approval. -

My EGD was two weeks ago. I'm not sure what drink you are referring to. I have been on this liquid diet for two weeks but that's it. He wants you to lose 10 lbs before surgery. -

I am very antsy! My surgery is Wednesday and it can't get here soon enough. I have lost 10.5 lbs on th epreop diet. I started a week early to allow for any slip-ups I might have in the beginning. After the first 3 days it was easy. I wasn't starving anymore and the headaches went away.

After day 3 it wasn't so bad. Once I got past the headaches I actually wasn't that hungry. -
