The November 'band'wagon!

[Starshine33 38]

Well I have some very bad news. When they opened me up to do revision' date=' there was so much scar tissue that it could not be done. I am left with 5 holes that will take a couple weeks to heal, lots of physical and emotional pain. So glad I believe in the saying, everything happens for a reason or I would be really messed up. Best of everything to all of you in your weight loss and healthy lifestyles![/quote']

I'm so sorry. I'm at a lost for words.

Good luck everyone who's having surgery today. I have been on the Protein shakes' date=' broths, Jello and ice pops for 11 days. My surgery is next Tuesday. My stomach is not handling these shakes very well. Anyone else having these problems??? I can't wait for cottage cheese. Never thought I would say that. LOL.[/quote']

I just got banded on 11/1 and did the pre-op diet for 2 wks before, which included mostly Protein Shakes. Unfortunately, they really upset my stomach too. I think for me it's because of all the artificial sweetener. I found a brand called primal fuel that's pretty good. It uses all natural ingredients.

Just got thru surgery last night, Nov 2....so I did end up staying the night in hospital. So far since home 11am on to now 4pm, I have downed about 35 oz including 30 grams of Protein. No gas pains, 6 cuts, largest 1.5 inches it looks like. More sore if I move in getting up or down, walking fine. Sugar count was high after surgery but fine now. Good to be on the other side......

I had double insurance coverage in July and my primary would not approve the lapband but the secondary would. I actually quit my job so I wouldn't have the coverage that was stopping me from having the procedure. I am thrilled that I am getting banded on November 9! That's next week, I'm excited and a nervous wreck but looking forward to a soupy thanksgiving for sure!
