I'm An April Bander :)



Recommended Posts

Hi April Banders!! My name is Jenna and I had my Lap-Band surgery on April 10, 2012. It was an outpatient procedure...I went into the hospital at 7:30am and I was home and in my bed by 3:30pm. I'm so happy with the results I'm having so far. I've lost a total of 20 pounds in less than a month. I think that's awesome!!! :D Starr Vampira (My Lap-Band's name) will get her first fill on May 7, 2012. I'm looking forward to it, because I'm feeling hungry after about 2 hours of eating....normally I just drink more fluids and that helps. I haven't had any cravings at all, which is great even after I see food commercials! I wasn't sure that was possible. :P

I look forward to talking to you all!! :)

Well here's what I've come up with I too was banded in April got first fill in June and to date I've lost 50 pounds since June. I have figured out it don't matter how few calories u eat your going to lose what your body is going to lose if that makes since. I've ranged from 1200 down to 700 cals and I'm still losing slow. But that's ok cause at least I'm loosing. Don't get frustrated and just keep doing what your suppose to do and I think the weight WILL eventually come off. Look at it this way the slower u lose the less likely of flabby skin that's what I'm telling my self. Hang in there it's like the turtle and the hare and who won that race ???ƒ

      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!!
