Anyone Getting Banded In July?



Recommended Posts

If I don't get banded by the end of June it will be early July! I'm excited, and scared! I envy those that get to do the 2 weeks Adkins diet, I have to do 2 weeks of ONLY protine shakes (3-5 a day). Anyone else have to do that? It seems so

Impossible! :)

that was what I was most scared of I just finished my appt with my nutritionist and I have to have 3 shakes and one low fat low carb high Protein meal a day. I know I have to do it after surgery to allow time for my stomach to heal so keep me posted on how you are doing

Good luck and we can do this

I'm scheduled for July 9th OMG so ready to get on this journey praying for everyone and YES we can all do this. How many have started to cut back before the pre-op diet.

I'm July 9th too! I am going to start a pre-op diet next week to help me get use to less food before my liquid diet starting July 2nd. Good luck!

I'm most happy I do not have to do a pre-op diet however I had to lose 10% before I qualified for surgery and must maintain that weight loss...two weeks prior to surgery I get weighed again. I got approved on April 9 and my surgery date is July 5 so I've had to maintain that loss almost 3 months....hasn't been easy mostly due to rigid diet and hungry alot.

I think the best part is that I learned to eat alot healthier and learned alot more about Portion Control but at times I've wanted to give up...but I haven't so hooray for me!

I just pushed my surgery date back to July 30th! We had the opportunity to do it when my hubby was home so pushing it back is totally worth it :) Where are you having yours done?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
