Worried About The Weather On Lap Band Surgery Day?



Recommended Posts

Just curious to see if any other Dec bandsters live in a severe weather area and have thought about severe weather occuring on surgery day. As you may know, the Mid-Atlantic thru the Northeast got pummeled by an early winter snowstorm and knocked out power and closed off several streeets. Because we have surgeries scheduled during a winter month, have you given any thought about what would happen if you or your surgeon couldn't make it to the hospital on surgery day because of foul weather? I lived through Snowmaggedeon a few winters ago and recall that many folks (myself included) became housebound for a few days because the roads weren't cleared. I don't have a "Plan B", but am praying that God bless me with clear blue skies and unobstructed road conditions on my surgery day. Would love to hear your thoughts on the issue.

There are a million things that can happen to change your plans. You can't stress out over all of them. Just relax and prepare yourself for surgery. If there is bad weather that day or anything else.....your surgery will be rescheduled and everything will work out for you.

I know it's a possibility but am not seriously worried about it.

I live in Oregon - it's highly unlikely that we would be in dire weather ... although it has happened before! I'm just hoping for the best!

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

      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! 😞
