Getting banded tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Well tomorrow is the day!!

I am so excited and nervous, I have followed my pre-op diet 100%, but I am so worried.

I know this is the right thing to do...I just wish I could fast forward to about three months in the future!!!

Hi...I am getting banded tomorrow too I am so hungry right now. I have been on a 48 hour, clear liquid only diet since Monday night (broth, Jello, apple juice, etc.) I am pretty excited right now, but know by the morning my nerves will kick in. A fast forward 3 months sounds nice about now!

GOOD LUCK! I'll be thinking about ya tomorrow, I go on Jan 16th.

I've sure learned something on this 10-day LowCarb liquid diet, seems like the weight is melting off of me. I'm barely taking any medicine for diabetes because my bloodsugar is almost normal, haven't seen that for years.

Jan 16th will be banded by Dr. Cook at Frye Medical in North Carolina

Good luck all, my date is 15th. So excited, not nervous yet. My surgery was booked within 2 weeks of my first appointment with the surgeon, so I haven't had the chance to be nervous!

Good luck,

Jen

Hi Char...I am getting my surgery in Atlanta, at Dekalb Medical Center. I have to be there at 8am for a 10am surgery. I just took a long, hot bath to get my mind of the blinding hunger. It definitely worked! Now I am doing the full on beauty treatments....mask, mani, pedi., scrubs....anything until I fall asleep!

Good luck! Catch up w/ you Friday!

Best of luck to you!

I love the idea of 'spoiling' yourself the night before!

We are pretty close in weightloss goals, we should keep in touch.

It's going to be good! If you're feeling nervous at all, don't be afraid to tell your doc. They are used to that and will fix you right up.

      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!
