Surgery Date 11/22 Anyone Else?!?!



Recommended Posts

No I have a surgeon in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I went to GNC today to pick up some protein/whey powder for my post op Protein drinks. It was quite an experience! There's a lot to choose from out there.

Will be banded on the 22nd as well. The reality of it all happening so soon is beginning to make me

anxious as _ _ _ _!!! (HELL)

Never had surgery or general anesthesia. So nervous!

I didn't have a pre op diet, so I have been eating all of the things that I know that I wouldn't be able to eat post band!

Looking toward a thinner, healthier future!

I would like to wish all of the future bandsters (especially those on 11/22) good luck and a uneventful recovery! ;)

Hi,

My surgery date is December 1, 2010. I started my pre op diet yesterday. I woke up in the middle of the night with a headache! I am not feeling too well. I am haiving Protein Drinks 3 daily with lots of Water, some Jello and I make my Protein drinks with skim milk. Do you feel better after a few days? Good luck to you!

Dear November Bandsters! Good luck to everyone having their surgery tomorrow!!! I will know tomorrow if I go in on Monday at 7:30 am or not...problem with my insurance. If not, then it will be Dec. 7th...may be a good thing if it is Monday, since I am so nervous...and it will be a surprise!! Just got the book Bandwagon and its a God send, as you all are to me...a lot of good advise and information. The more we know the better...God bless!

Hi There! I too went to GNC and got Isoopure's liquid Protein which I found to be much more palatable. I am also getting banded on November 22nd... three more days! Please stay in touch and good luck with recovery!

dear soundman: I grew up in providence rhode island and went to school in massachusetts. Where in ri are you from? I am also getting banded on november 22nd... Just three more days! I didn't have to do the preop either so i have been eating my way through each day with a sadness and relief at the same time that i will never have to see these foods in these portion sizes again. Where are you getting banded? What hospital? Good luck to you and safe recovery! Stay in touch.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
