September surgery



Recommended Posts

This Liquid Protein diet is not easy for me. I have a major headache from caffeine/sugar withdrawal, I think. Not getting all the shakes in because the headache make me feel yucky already. I guess those 'last chance to enjoy' lattes were not my friend. UGH

Is anyone else a LAP band to bypass patient? I'd love to connect with someone else who is having surgery around the same time. Mine is Sept 15th.

Yes, I am doing the bypass. I am a bit nervous! I felt like I couldn't wait for the approval and when I got it, I went into panic mood! Yikes! How are you doing?

Doing good. I have a LAP band and can't wait to have it out. My biggest concern is how complicated it will be to take it out. Can't wait to start my journey to thinness!

I'm September 9th! I am excited and nervous. I was told a million times that the 6 months pre-op would fly by and boy were those people right! I am super excited for all of us to start our journey on the "other side" of this.

I spent 6 months waiting for my insurance to change to one that covers WLS. That didn't fly by at all!

Hi, Nicole! I'm Sept 9 too! Isn't this great to have people to share this with?!? I am getting ready for the nutrition class... Like right now! Waiting for it to start :) Really nervous about this but so helpful to read that others have the same thoughts/concerns. Are you doing a two week preop?

Well, I was informed yesterday that my 9/2 surgery was moved up to 8/25 due to a cancellation. I was happy to get this done quicker but I spent yesterday trying to calm down (without eating to cope) about losing a week to mentally prepare. Sure hope my liver is alright for surgery without the extra 8 days fasting. Did I mention that not being able to eat when stressed stresses me? LOL This pre surgery diet is not my friend.

      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!!
