lap band application through enterocele surgery



Recommended Posts

It sounds funny ısn’t it? But 4 months ago I had my lap band placed in my stomach while I had abdominal hernia operation: And guess what happend to me afterwards. I had my filling port right in the middle of my belly!!! And then after one month I went to doctor for my fırst

filling. But ooops! The doctor could not find the capsule. He tried lots of times but unfortunately it was nowhere . Well I am gonna tell the rest of my long story later(if you are interested in) Bye for now.

and then the dr told me to have an xray of my belly so that he can see where the port was. And I had the xray and we saw that the port had gone down to a place near the big intestines. And the dr said to me that I had to have another operation to locate the port somewhere up near my stomach. So I said ok and had the operation. And then 3 weeks passed and I was alright and then went to dr again for a fill. And you know what happened this time...

Oh yes I was so upset because of these filling failures ( meanwhile I ate even more than I ate before and put 5 more kilograms.) And I was very angrry with the doctor. I said What we shall do next ? He said we will now wait for your infection to heal. Ha!! Because this time I had got an infection around the port. Ohh how miserable I felt I cannot tell you.

I cried I was so much worried. And had so much pain and ache.

Now the infection problem is solved and my doctor called me to the hospital and said that this time he will do the filling with the help of a device which can enable him to see where he is sticking the needle.

The name of the device is something like SCOPY.

My goodness I said if something like

I said to the dr ''if such a device was available why did you put me all through this agony?''

All he says is well I tried! And I suffered so much pain !!! Because each time he tried he at least sticks the injector ten times and it hurts soo much.

Now I am lloking for the next trial. I mean filling!

Ok guys I will keep you informed. Pls wish me good luck

Thank you very muchfor your interest

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
