Two days away from banding...



Recommended Posts

Hello...I am excited and a little nervous about my Lap Band surgery. I am scheduled for surgery on 11/13/07. My surgeon is great and I have been comforted with all the information he has provided.

I seriously thought this day would never come...I have been preparing since July for this surgery. My doc required a psych test, sleep study, and pre surgery diet...so needless to say I am glad all of that is behind me and now I can try and believe that this surgery is going to happen.

Anyways....I am trying to compile a shopping list for my post op diet. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks.

suggest you search for "shopping list". Many bandsters have posted info.

here is a good thread...

Hi Sillygirl (love the SN)!

Welcome to LBT! Congrats on your surgery. Most doctors have different post-op instructions, so what are your post-op instructions? I had to do Clear liquids for a week so I bought lots of Jello, popsicles, broth(which I could not drink-hate the taste), low sugar apple juice and bottled Water. Congrats again and good luck on your surgery tomorrow!

<p>I am nervous but excited about how I will look in the next year. I have so much on mind that I can't take this my mind is racing. I think I will live on this board for the next twenty four hours. I have to go get my nails done. Must look as good and natural as possible for the surgery.</p>

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
