Wheres My June Bandsters??



Recommended Posts

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' date=' and never thought that I would be able to get it. Thank you God for another chance at life :)[/quote']

Isn't he Great I got the news yesterday and was screaming thank you Jesus

Pre-op day 3 today and I'm not feeling to bad. I am having a hard time getting my Water in. Was able to sleep on my side most of the night. I do have gas but it has been manageable. I do feel where the port is and that seems to be where most of the pain/gas is. Hoping it goes away. It is way better for the gas to go out the bottom than the top because it hurts coming up. Gotta keep walking!

I am home from surgery!! I am just hanging out. i have had 2 popsicles and sips of apple juice. I feel pretty good so far. I have been up and walking around a little to help with gas pain. It has been ok so far. I hope the rest of you who had your surgery today are doing well!!!

Glad you are home. Sounds like you are doing what you should to get rid of that gas pain (that is one part of that I am not looking forward to). Keep us posted on your progress.

I had my surgery today as well and I have not really had to much of an issue with nausea. I have been takng small sips of Water and juice through out the day. I have also eaten three popsicles and they have stayed down pretty well. I hope the nausea paases for you. The one great thing is that they put a patch behind my ear and said leave it for three days to help with nausea and it has been working great so far. Good luck!! I hear each day gets better and better.

Happy to hear from all of you who were Banded on Wednesday and gave us reports on how it went, how you feel (and are feeling) and that you're in recovery! Makes it easier knowing that we have friends ahead of us to give us the "heads-up."

Does anyone know why some patients get to stay in the hospital vs outpatient facility where we are just release out on our own? I have complicated health issues and a long drive home in Friday traffic after surgery. I would feel more comfortable being in a hospital overnight, but my center doesn't have that option? Hum?

Keep up the good work Friends :) Appreciate your posts! Thank you! :)

I will be staying in the hospital overnight. My Dr said my insurance treats 23 hrs the same as outpatient, so it could be due to your insurance. My Dr's office is connected to the hospital so it makes it handy for him.

I too appreciate everyone reporting on their progress. Thank you for taking the time to report when you are not feeling really up to it.

June 13tth is my day!!!!

I believe staying overnight has a lot to do with your insurance also. My insurance only paid for Lapland as outpatient.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
