April 2011 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Welcome everyone!!

I'm not sure if I want to name my band until I get to know her... I might need to change it based on how well we get along.:D

I just got my Ins approval!!! Yeah! I have to book my surgery Monday but we talked about April 18th.

I'm just not looking forward to the 2 weeks liquid diet, but super excited!

Good Luck to everyone!

It feels so unreal to be able to say that I am getting banded. It has been a long process but totally worth it!!!! I am April 14th as well!!! I'm only anxious about anesthesia...I have never been in the hospital for more than just an ER visit, so the while the procedure doesn't scare me, the anesthesia does! I work in a hospital on a surgical floor and I see dozens of people every week that are perfectly fine post anesthesia so I know I'll be fine!

Congrats to everyone who is getting banded this month...let's go ladies and gents!!!

Hi my name is Willow--Mine is on the 18 of april at 10:45 am! Just got my date last week. I am so excited, I have a couple of weeks with not much to do except get used to the liquid diet--I started early in case I have trouble at first I want to be able to go into the "real" preop diet with sucess, what else can I do anyway but get ready for my new life habits, right. In just less than 2 wks I'm down 26 lbs. Then in the 1st week of april I have my preadmit, my cardiologist appt, my pulmonary appt, final visit with my primary care dr and then the big day!! I wish you and all of us, a journey filled with insights, hope, joy and a new appreciation for the people we are and hope to become. congratulations!!--

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
