January Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

I got banded Jan 8th! YIPEE! I stayed overnight and did just fine. I did get a little sick to my stomach as I got up the first 3 times to go to the bathroom, but it eased up during the night. The air in the body is my most complant. It's in the left shoulder and driving me nuts. My port area is sore and my dr put 2 cc's in it for restriction already, and my throat is sore from the tube. Other than that I'm rather amazed at how good I feel. I'm so amazed at how I'm not hungry. I've lost 12lbs since the preop started on Dec. 26th. Good luck to all. Felicia:clap2:

Banded on Jan 09 Yesterday, and I am back home and doing just fine. Some tummy soreness, but nothing else. The gas is coming out own its own, and no complications at all. The staff at Barix is outstanding and ... it was cerainly a good experience for me.

I went for the pre-testing yesterday and everything is a go for the 23 of Jan. I went shopping for food today and got most of what I will be able to have afterwards...it looks like a lot of food lol...but it wasn't bad just seemed like I went to the food store for the first time...had to look and search for the right things to have in the house...Had a friend go with me to check everything (she also had bypass)I am being banded....we don't have pre op diet...but I am following the one in my Bible (book given to us yesterday) class This way I will be ready for it...doing as told I called Holland and checked with them there about the chewable Vit. I found and everything was good! Doing the breathing exercises. Now all I need to do is my homework from my night classesMy teachers are great and very understanding about my surgery. Willing to work with me I should only miss a week of classes (maybe only one class)I want to be in class I have 5 days between surgery and the next set of classes...any suggestions on how to relax? I am scared but excited...~WhirlWinds~

whirlwinds--relax is the optimal word. Barix is so technical and tight, they have this down to a science. The scary part for me was 5 minutes before they were to wheel me in. The surgeon, anethesiologist, nurses, and my family were all summons and the final prayer prayed, all was well except for a little nervous, but they have some wonderful stuff to give you in that IV bag that will make the journey very easy. Today I m banded and at home. You will do just fine.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
