Lap Band Surgery Is December 15th



Recommended Posts

Getting ready to start the liver shrinking diet. A little nervous about what to eat/drink. But getting really excited about my surgery.

There isn't anything to be nervious about. Follow your dietition's advice and try not to cheat, (which

isn't as easy as it sounds!) but we all did it. The surgery itself amounts to you going in lying down

on the bed and waking up in recovery. Nothing to it. Best of luck.

You can do it! I'm getting banded on the same day. What's your pre-op look like? I have a week of low-cal/low carb dieting to do. It's one of the least restrictive pre-op diets I've seen people have, but I'm still not looking forward to it! Being only a week though, I know I can do just about anything for that little time!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
