Any bandings in April???



Recommended Posts

I am being banded April 17. Was supposed to have been banded March 6, but my platelets were too low. Many blood tests and other tests later, they just decided I have low platelets normally. Anyway, I am hoping nothing postpones my surgery again! I was within a week of having it last time!

That happened to me...time was flying by and then seemed to virtually halt, but it is picking back up again. My surgery is the 10th. Maybe it is when you get within a week of your procedure that time gets going again!

1 day postop and doing well. Only pain is surgery site. I have liquid Lortab for pain, and I was able to sleep comfortably in my bed last night.

My surgery has been changed til April 15th because my surgery has something come up and can't do it on my original date of the 8th. I understand - but it's so hard waiting another week when I had everything set up - hotel, meals for the family all prepared, hubby's time off from work. Uugh - so difficult to wait. Just thankful that his pre-op diet is just 2 days of liquid and pretty much what I've been eating otherwise.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
