Hi RaeShelle,

How are you doing post-op? Hope all your pain is gone. I am scheduled Oct. 16 with Dr. Farhan. Did you do the 4 weeks liquid diet (2 pre-op & 2 post-op)? If so, how did that go? I'm sort of dreading that. Can you share any info to help me be more prepared for surgery and about Hurley?

thanks,

maggie

Dr.Farhan was great. The first two weeks of the liquid diet was hard. It took alot of willpower and wanting the band bad enough. Surgery went well. Stayed overnight witch wasn't bad but the beds are the worst. They gave good pain control. You have a morphine pump. They make sure you have alot of nausea control.I wasn't in to much pain. Went and got staples out at two weeks. they healed great. Oct.8 I get my first fill. I have lost 20 lbs. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but everyone is different. Just make sure you walk as much as you can I makes a difference.It made me feel better. Good luck and I will have you in my prayers. I know you will do great.

Sorry I haven't responded to these Michigan threads in awhile. I been spending most of my time with fellow june bansters in 2008 June forums.

I have been doing great. As you can see, I lost a total of 67 lbs with 47lbs of that coming off after surgery.

I would love to comment in depth about Hurley Bariatrics' post-op care but I have only gone in 3 times after my surgery. Once to get post-op check up, once to get a first fill, then only 1 week later to get my band unfilled.

I talked with the nutrionists and PA's there and we agreed I am one of those lucky people that don;t need a fill for a long time. Lost all this weight and its still coming off fast (almost too fast). I think just the fact that I have to eat slow and choose my food wisely is enough for me, go figure.

Anyways, hope the rest of you are doing great!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
