Band Comes Out January 29th!



Recommended Posts

I felt the same way about water/broth/SF anything. I could not do SF puddings to much on sugar alcohols. I wanted apple juice and I dislike apple juice never have I asked for or wanted it. I found some in glass bottles shaped like apples. It was expensive but soo good. I diluted the juice it was yummy and I wanted apple sauce.

Good luck today lapnicky!!!! You are in my thoughts! I wish you a speedy recovery. Let us all know how you're doing once you're well enough. :)

Glad to hear your doing really well. It's the count down for me. Pre op is Tuesday and surgery 2/10. Did you find out why you had to have a drain? Maybe Dr. Higa does them on all his sleeves? I'll have to find out if it's routine with him on Tuesday. I've had a drain before so if I get one no biggie I guess. I look forward to seeing your progress and I'll post as soon as I can after surgery. Cheers to you!!

Day 5. Doing well. Only stayed one night in the hospital, surgery was about 2 hours long, haven't needed to take my pain meds since Friday. I have a drain in, which I didn't expect. Its kind of annoying to deal with but it comes out on Thursday. I can't wait. I'm soooo bored of broth and sugar free whatever at this point and I find myself preoccupied with thoughts of food but I hear that's normal and goes away after you can start to eat more normal again. Been walking a lot and taking it slow. FHSH was a great hospital and my nurse, Hai, the first night was great. You'll do well. Just follow doctors orders, try to walk as much as you can and get your fluids. You're in good hands with ALSA.

      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!!
