Wheres My June Bandsters??



Recommended Posts

Ohhh, I didn't know we have to give ourselves shots of blood thinners... not looking forward to that (blah)

I had my surgery yesterday and they gave me the shots after I was already out. I thought they might not do it so I asked and they said yah they had given them to me but they waited until I was under. I was really glad about that.

I am set for the 11 th. Had to redo the EKG today. The leads were inverted the first time, giving me an abnormal result. I am ready to go.

Are all these tests for insurance based? I'm just curious because they never gave me an EKG but I'm also self pay...

why is it that some doctors only want one or two days of a liquid diet and some want two weeks or more? I don't get it.

I asked them the same question. Mine is only 2 days and I am on the end of my day 1. I feel like I'm about to pass out, I am SO hungry. I am so thankful that I don't have to do this for two weeks. They told me that Dr.Naim only has us do 2 days, because he doesn't want us to feel weak for the surgery. I already feel weak after day one...can't IMAGINE 2 weeks. =/

I am self-pay, and I had an EKG done in the office. But everything is included in my price plus a year of fills and free checkups. I would ask them to verify.

I was banded with hernia repair yesterday. I have been walking off and on all morning. Gas pain is going away. Overall I am feeling pretty good. Good luck to all getting banded today.

My surgery date is June 12th! I am super excited! Although I'm nervous about the four days of liquids BEFORE surgery. I just know that I'm going to be starving! Ugh! But I am so excited to FINALLY be banded in 6 more days! I have wanted this for years, and never thought that I would be able to get it. Thank you God for another chance at life :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
