Recommended Posts

My date for the band is Jan. 16th! I am happy and scared and dang hungry right about now! I know this will be more then worth it. I have "dieted" myself to this weight by losing and regaining and losing etc. we have all been there. I am ready for a change! I was very blessed that insurance is paying for this! :clap2:

Congradulations! I'm getting banded on the 16th as well. Where are you getting banded at? My doctor is Dr Felts and I'm Going to Wise Regional in Decatur Texas. That's in the Dallas area. I'm so excited but having a difficult time with the pre-op diet. I have my Protein Shake in the morning and before lunch I'm shaking and feeling like I'm going to pass out which is what happens to me when I don't eat. I can't figure out why though. I'm hoping after a couple of days it will go away. But it worth it either way. Yeah to us!!!!!!!!

:whoo:

I'm getting banded Jan 16th too, I'm on est in NW NC. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30AM and it's 1 1/2hr away at Frye Medical Center in Hickory.

Odd about doctors, my 10-day pre-op diet doesn't start until tomorrow 1/6/08 but I got stocked up on stuff today. I love Diet V8 Splash berry Blend.

Hang in there. The hunger will pass. I am on day 5 of my liver cleanse. My surgery date is next Wednesday, Jan. 9. I am using ice pops, hard sugar free candy, hot tea, iced tea, sugar free drinks, Water, and chicken broth in combinaton with Carnation Instant Breakfast drink mixed with my Protein. I eat about every two hours and I am feeling great now. The first three days were hard. I had a headache and upset stomach.

The best part is feeling in CONTROL!

I am wishing you a safe and healthy journey into banding.

Hugs,

I go in at 5:30 a.m. and my surgery is at 7. I will be going to St. Vincents here in Jacksonville. I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet and things are easier today! Don't get me wrong, I sure wouldn't mind a cheeseburger but all and all things are better today! :eek:

I'm glad to hear you are doing so well. I am doing a little better. I always eat when I get bored which is often so I'm fighting through that right now.

It's funny how often we think of food when we are not hungry! I understand 100%. I find I go to bed earlier when not eating :eek:

Hiya

I'm on the 16th too. Nice to see others on the same day ! I'm a bit scared, but knowing others will be doing it that day too helps.

      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!
