Recommended Posts

Just finished my pre-op on Friday the 24th, EKg, Chest Xray, and blood work... All went well and I'm ready for surgery on August 12th! Yaaah. Pre op diet starts on July 29th, I was surprised that my doctor allows me to eat one meal... and two Protein Shakes. It could be the fact that my BMI is 39, not really sure but is sounds like it will rather simple since I can eat at least one meal, as well as sugar free popcicles and sugar free Jello, this should be a breeze.

Start Weight: 252

Pre Op Weight: 239

Goal Weight: 145

I hope I can be banded in August! I just had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago, so I'm not sure if he'll want to wait till September or later.

I have surgeon consultation 7/28/09. If all goes well, I'll let you know!

Good luck August Banders!

I just had my gallbladder out 7.9.09 and im still supposed to get my band on 8.5.09. I think you will be fine enough for surgery by September. Good luck :thumbup:

I just got my date this morning- August 7th. Started my pre-op diet today, and I'll be 2 days shy of a full 2 weeks on the pre-op diet, but hope that will be good enough. I think it will be since some surgeons only do a 1 week pre-op diet...

I'm cash pay and this has all happened so fast! I was not expecting to be those close to surgery so soon.

I just finished my pre-op appointment this morning got blood work and all completed, I haven't been put on a pre-op diet or anything just the usual don't eat after midnight stuff, I guess everyone is different. I am super excited and nervous at the same time. My husband and I have been planning the different broths to make to help me through the first three weeks of liquids, and food for the mushie stage too. My children are excited too. one week to go...:smile2:

      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!

      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!!
