January 2014 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hello fellow January sleevers, I'm having a band-revision down January 27 at OCC with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. Getting pretty excited as it's only 3 weeks away.

My surgery is one week from tomorrow - the 14th.

Pre-op diet is okay, but my surgeon's recommendation is not as strict as many others. High Protein, low carbo. I'm making chicken Soup (no noodles) for dinner but craving fruit. Cleaned the bad stuff out of the kitchen today ... and DID NOT EAT IT!

MyFitnessPal and my new Fitbit are ultra-helpful but today it's too cold here in Chicago to go walking for very long.

Tomorrow is pre-op test day, and my last pre-op nutrition class.

I'm a bit nervous, but more excited than anything. This forum really helps.

My surgery date is Janaury 16th. Last appt. is today and I think I start pre-op diet tomorrow. A little worried about the diet, hoping I don't feel yucky since I have to work. Good luck all!

I guess I forgot to add myself to this thread. My surgery is on January 15th. A week through the pre-op and no longer have headaches, knock on wood. Having many personal issues at home recently which isn't good, but I'm trying to focus on the positive stuff going on in my life like this surgery. One more week and I'll be on the other side.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
