Just got approval!! June 29th surgery date for me! :) YAY! biggrin.gif This has been in the works for years, so I'm SUPER EXCITED for it to finally be reality! And scared also!

No pre-op diet for me. I just had to lose a percentage of my total weight (5% I think) to be ready for surgery. I think I'm there already but I will just keep eating well and get as low as I can before my date.

Best wishes to all of you!!!

Good luck June 2011 bandsters! I was banded in June 2010... this year has been even better than I could have imagined. Best thing I've ever done for myself. I'm living my life again, and loving every minute.

My date is June 9th! My pre-op diet is only 2-3 days which makes me very happy. I'm nervous and excited. My only worry is failing, I don't want to fail like I have on soooooo many diets in the past.

hi all, so 23 days left for my band and im seriously counting!!!!!! I cant wait to start over and get on with my new life!

Only thing ive noticed is im piling on the weight, its like in my head, i keep thinking "a sure, i'l be doing this for ever, so feck it"! Oh god, is anyone else

like this??? I'm going for my bloods next week so il find out how long i'l have to do the pre op diet for, but i think its one week. I'm paying for the op myself, so i havent been on a restrictive diet like alot who are getting it through insurance.

The sooner the pre op diet comes the better!!!! :wacko:

      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!

      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!!
