This Is My Month To Get Banded



Recommended Posts

Just got back from the doc and it looks like I can't get banded until October, their schedule until then is full :(

It's ok, it will be worth the weight (pun intended)

Mara...

Ask them to put you on the call list. A lot of surgeries get canceled at the last minute because things are missing or bad labs, etc.

It's ALWAYS worth a shot!

I am so jealous that you are all so early in the month!

I get a little nervous saying it's "next month," but then when I say "47 days" I wanna cry b/c it feels like forever!!

Hi. I found out Fri. that I have been approved. My surgery date is Sept. 6th.

All my appointments/tests are done except for losing 10 pounds which is what my surgeon requires. So far I have lost 7 pounds and am hoping to get the last few off by Sept.

Right now I feel such a tangle of emotions that it is pretty overwhelming!

Glad to find a group of people going through the same thing.

      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!!
