Anyone Want To Be My Band Big Sister Or Brother?



Recommended Posts

First time using a forum. Don't know anyone personally that has the band of gold. Should be banded by December, postponed from 10/30 due to insurance and hospital certification. Just want to learn the ropes from your wisdom. Thanks from New England.

Thanks! My kids said since my nickname is jo, my username had to change to banjo. Being from boston, thought wicked cool was appropriate. Kids won!

So tell me about day 10. Handling it ok?

Day ten is okay. Don't get me wrong I'm still really sore but I can handle it. I noticed the more I get my walks in the better I feel each day. I haven't taken my pain medicine in three days that should tell you something. I'm in the full liquid stage I started Friday kind of boring can't wait till next Friday I'll go to mushy. Lol

Thanks. How is life at 6 weeks post op? I still haven't gotten a date even though my pre ops are all completed.

Can't wait for my life part 2 to begin!

      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!!
