Anyone being banded in May?



Recommended Posts

Is anyone being banded in May? My surgery date is May 3rd. I am starting to get a little nervous, but I know this is the best decision I have ever made! Any tips or suggestions for pre-op and post-op from all welcomed!!

I found out today, I am being banded MAY 2nd!!!! I am so excited. But it seem like it is still a dream to me, has not sunk in yet I guess. I start my pre-op tomorrow. Doc. has the pre-op diet in two stages. First stage is two weeks, one Protein Shake in the AM and low carb meals for lunch and dinner, no snacking. Then last two week is all liquid. We will be May bandsters together. Let me know how you are doing, okay!!

I am in Louisville, KY and get banded May 16.

I have not been given any instructions yet on a pre-op surgery....I am just learning from everyone here on the forum what to do. I go May 4 for all my lab work and they said to plan on being there for 6 hours or so. I wonder if that is when they will give me pre-op instructions.....regardless, I plan to do a full 14 days of a pre-op diet, mainly of liquids/puree/mushy with low carbs to shrink the liver......

Good to have a bunch of us May banders!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
