Kimturk71 and lzj21248, my surgery is also tomorrow morning at 8:30AM.:smile2: It is nice to know that we are all in there together. I don't know about you but I haven't been too nervous yet, just very anxious. I wish you both the best of luck and we will have to compare stories when it is all over. :blushing:

Until then,

Sarah

Hi Cherie, I was operated on the day after you. Feeling really good, and like you, no appetite at all....which is fine by me! I'm having Optifast shake for Breakfast, a little bit of pear juice, diet soft drink and mineral water. I had some cream of chicken Soup for dinner last night, because I thought I should, rather than wanting anything. Still a bit bloated, and no BM as yet, (that's what the pear juice is for) and this morning I put some fibre powder into my shake....we'll see how that goes. It is just so strange, to not feel any hunger! Best wishes, Kerry

Well, the day has finally arrived. I will be heading out soon for the surgery center. I don't feel nervous or scared. It's almost like I don't feel anything. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing.

Good luck to all my fellow 10/25 bandsters!!! Hope to hear everyone's story within the next couple of days.

And good luck to all the other future October peeps.

Say a prayer.

Nina

Cherie,

I was banded Oct 12th and I felt just like you. I didn't have any appetite and my hubby had to make me get in my Water and shakes for Protein. I didn't even want my crystal light at first. I was also very sleepy.

Sure! We all need all the support we can get. I was going nuts on this diet, but I adapted it to fit my needs, being allowed RAW veggies, I didn't see a problem cooking them. So once a day I eat low fat low carb veggies in some form.

Had a really bad day today, had anxiety attack about dying during surgery. Most days I'm good, but once in a while it gets to me. Best of luck!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!
