Recommended Posts

I will have had my band two weeks on Friday and am still on slop!

I am having yoghurt for Breakfast, Soup for lunch and then soup/scrambled eggs or something else light for dinner. Problem is, by mid afternoon, I am ravenous and wandering around the office with my stomach growling so loud that everyone else must think I've a serious problem. Any suggestions on what else to eat. I tried porridge but it seemed to lie in my stomach and I was really uncomfortable for the rest of the day.

Not looking forward to the next four weeks until I get a fill . Dr Chris told me no meat for 4 weeks. has everyone stuck to that?

Its 2.33am and I'm in the hotel. After an ultrasound i was told I had a haematoma on the muscle which they think caused the bleed.

I'm not ashamed to say that it has scared me.

I feel rubbish and I am in a lot of pain from where the port is and the extra stitches. The trapped gas is god awful and feels like my stomach is about 3" from my throat.

I keep asking myself "what have I done?"

Be prepared everyone who is yet to go - this is quite a big op.

I need to try and sleep but it hurts to lay down and I can't get comfortable.

I didn't want this to be a moaning reply but I can't fib cos this is no easy option.

I hope I feel better soon. Nite nite x

i would be scared to lemma,i think anyone would,when you go fo an op and you know what is going to happen and what the outcome should be and your's if different and somthing dosnt happen the way everyone else's has it is a worry,but you will be fine hun and each day you will get better,try and sleep on your side with a pillow under you tummy that's what i done and for the wind as hard as it might be try walking it's suppose to really help,i didnt get the wind pains so i can only imagine how it feels,hope when you wake up today it has eased off a bit take care hun:wink2:

good morning everyone,

I have recently cancelled with Bridget and am waiting to hear back from Frederik, my flights are booked already as I was in the OP on 20th October, starting to panic now as Frederik has not got back to me to say he has put me back in!! Is he always slow???

Reading some of your stories is great but I will be honest I just dont know if I am doing the right thing, I was always a skinny minny and then met my gorgeous husband and thryoid problem and suddenly put on 5 stone of weight ( well suddenly.. maybe not.... over a period of couple of years!!) this was my fault though I just love to eat and not normal portions but big ones... (match my hub anyday!!). I then lost the weight through slimming clubs and running. Unfortunately became ill and have since given up on sports and eating well and have put 2 stone on in a year..... For me this OP isnt just about losing weight quickly, its about not having a weight problem.. its about wanting to eat smaller portions and to be honest I am just so fed up being big.. I am so down about my weight its awful.....

Anyway sorry about the moan... god I needed that!! Please help me decide its the right thing to do. (I am using alot of our savings for this) thanks everyone you are all doing so well... xx:blink:

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
