Who's Getting Banded in August???



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone, I would love to be a part of your group.

I think it would be great to be an All-Star with all of you. I am on my pre-op diet of Protein Shakes right now. I get banned on Friday, Aug 8th.

half2bwhole, I am getting banded August 6th too! How is your pre op diet going? I am finally starting to get used to not eating solid food. It was very difficult last night when my kids decided to make popcorn...one of my favorites and it smells so good! Other than that I'm doing ok. Good luck to you Wednesday!

1 more week for me. The clock is running and I'm counting days.

I'm starting to get comfortable with the pre-op, nothing but liquids (600 calories a day) for almost a week. This is going to be a good thing. Already my blood pressure is lower and my blood sugar is lower too 80~90.

Hello, I just started my 3 day pre-op diet of all liquids. I am drinking chocolate Medifast shakes and just had a sugar free popsicle. Why yes I am still hungry...LOL

But I will live. My date is this Thursday Aug. 7th! I am very excited to start this new chapter in my life.

Good Luck all!

I am getting banded tomorrow, 8/5/08. I'm starting to get very nervous. I am "Super big" at 424 lbs., and have very arthritic knees. I cannot walk long distances or stand for very long, as it is, so I'm nervous about being able to walk enough after the surgery to ward off gas, bloodclots, etc. Wish me well!:thumbup:

Hey Sarah, So glad to hear that you are doing so well. Keep up the good work. I heard from my surgeon's office today, they uped my surgery date to August 21 from September 8. I'll keep you posted, as you do the same. Glad to hear you're doing well!

      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!
