Who's Getting Banded in July?



Recommended Posts

Thank you! I'm feeling calm, ready and just a little excited. :-) The hard part will be jumping up early and hitting the shower first thing while still groggy. I've been trying to adjust my sleeping hours, so maybe it won't be so bad. :thumbup:

Good luck Orea from me too, you wouldnt need my luck, looks like you are surrounded with friends wishing you luck that you have already made.

I couldnt eat from 10 pm the night before and didnt have my surgery until the afternoon, I was starving by then. I had to get up early like you too. You will get thru this, then its all downhill.

I'll take all the good wishes and prayers I can get! LOL I believe those things really make a difference.

I'm hoping my surgery time doesn't get pushed back. That would be miserable!

I can eat - or rather, drink, and I am on liquids today - until midnight (and take my morning meds later with just enough Water to get them down), but I hope to be fast asleep long before then! :wink2: I swear, my body knows something is up, I am SO HUNGRY today!

I'm in Northern VA. I'll be at the Fair Oaks Hospital in Fairfax. Great place, from what I have seen so far. 10 AM according to the schedule.

Thanks for your prayers!

Thanks Sue, Just met with the surgeon for my pre-op and surgery is at 1:00 tomorrow 7/31 with Dr. Kirshenbaum in Colorado. I traveled here from Florida, where I live now, but I am a native Long Islander.

I wish you much luck also. Keep in touch and we can compare notes.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
