Support for April 2010 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I was originally part of March bandsters, but due to additional testing, work schedules, Easter Holiday (Family coming in) and anything else you can think of the date has now been pushed out to 4/22/10.

Im hoping to connect with others that are currently scheduled for April (only) for surgery, for support, advice, education, and encouragement. Let's get together and share this journey together!

So if possible, let's all post our surgery date and where you are having it done and let's track everyone's process!

Surgery Date: 4/22/10

Hospital - Carle Hospital, Urbana IL

Doctor: Dr. Oliphant

Who did you tell you are having surgery? Husband Only

Hi, ginger!

I'm scheduled April 5.

I have told a few friends and my mom, my daughter, but have failed to tell my sons. Think it's a guy thing. :)

I am tentatively scheduled for 04/09. I am going out of my mind today! Waiting for surgeon to send info to insurance for approval. I know once they receive it, the insurance company will take some time. It has been 6 long months waiting for this lets get it to them already!! Other than that i am alright:laugh:

My surgery is scheduled for 4/1... 2 days before my 26th birthday and 3 days before Easter... I'm getting so excited!!! 23 more days, and counting... Surgery is in Sacramento, CA... I have actually told quite a few people, most of whom have been receptive and supportive.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.
