Getting My Band Next Thursday! :-)



Recommended Posts

OK. So, I haven't been on here in a while because I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get my band. Let's see...I started the process back in May of 2012 and now it is October of 2012...So, as you can see I have gone a while being in limbo as to getting banded--not because of me, but because of my insurance. So! Now, I finally was approved for insurance, and we are on GO! I have been doing well on my two week pre-op diet, although I haven't lost a huge amount of weight from it. I think it is because I was previously doing calorie and portion counting and control in preparation for after surgery...but now, with the pre-op diet, I am doing a low carb diet as prescribed by my doctor. So, I am really eating more calories than I have done in many months. I am still loosing some but not at the rate I would normally do when doing low carb.

So, my surgery date is set for Thursday. It is an easy date to remember 10-11-12! I am asking you all pray for me as I go through this. I am on two different cholesterol meds, a heart med, and blood pressure meds. So, I am really excited and looking forward to this surgery and my new way of eating and my new life. But at the same time, I am nervous too.

Ok! Well, that is my story as of now! If you all want to check out my little Journey Blog you can!

I will be 6 days after you. Best of luck and may God's peace and protection cover you during your entire surgery and aftercare.

P.S. How were you able to lose all that weight before surgery. Nice job girl...I'm proud of you.

      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!
