Orbera Success strategies



Recommended Posts

@@Wayward Traveler - thanks for thinking of me. Yes, I am still on track tomorrow for Orbera. Procedure is scheduled for 1:15. I will try to update tomorrow night. I'm anxious, nervous, hopeful and a little scared. But certainly confident that I will be following all the recommendations with your helpful summaries!

@@SLSH - thank you ... I hope you're right. Sometimes being mildly OCD comes in handy ... if only that's all it took - lol! ;-)

@@ophelia150 - good luck! I will keep an eye out for you tomorrow and will send lots of happy thoughts your way. I am definitely feeling all of the same things (gulp), so I understand what you're going through. I'm glad that my summary helped - lol!! :-D But I've never done this before either, so it's probably better to defer to everyone else here. ;-) Hopefully we can support each other through this ... I certainly wish you great success and hope that our journeys are fruitful. Cheers!!

If I had to do it over yes I would because everyone has their own experience! My doc gave me the patch, zofran and amind for nausea! I used all of them!

I just passed 1/2 way and have lost 26 pounds. No nausea, I am exercising and feeling pretty good. The weight loss has definitely slowed down, at this stage, I find, you are dieting, but just don't have the hunger that you usually experience. Good luck with yours and once you get through the first 6 weeks, it's not too hard.

        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!!
