getting banded on March 19th



Recommended Posts

I have all but one clearance.. go for pre-op on 3/6 and find out my surgery time. Trying to keep to a one regular meal a day diet and 2 meals of protien drink. Seems easy now, but my Dr requires 4 weeks of liquid diet after surgery, then 2 weeks pureed and 2 weeks soft, before going to any "solid" food...ugh

my surgeon is Dr. Gail Wynn

in Newark, DE

This is a great bunch of March 2008 band date folks and if you want to come on over to the thread for March 2008 bandsters, there is a group of everyone starting the journey about the same time together.

The thread is under Monthly Support Groups - 2008 and then March 2008.

Good luck to all March Banders. I had my surgery on Nov.14 th and I have lost 45 pounds and 38 inches. I was wearing a size 22 before and now wear a 16 and it feels great. I was on a slim fast diet for my 2 weeks but I drank chicken broth and had Jello. If you can make it through the liquid diet the lap band is a breeze. Good luck to all of you.

Good luck to everyone. See you on the loser's bench!

I am being banded in Monterrey Mexico on 4/7/2008. I am a diabetic Type 2 taking insulin. Has anyone out there been in my place and is now off the insulin?

Hi Lonestar:

It is a small blender. There are infomercials on tv for it. They usually are mixing the cool drinks, but they will blend all kinds of stuff. I think you can get them in Walmart or department stores like 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!!

      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.
