Hi sbanfield!

I'm Millie and I will be banded on Tues. the 28th also!!!! Two weeks from today, yippeeee! Have you started any pre-op diet? Are you having your surgery in Houston?

Take care and let me know how you are doing. I'm so glad to have another bandster on my same day!

Hey Millie! Woohoo!! I'm so happy...we're both on the same day. We can compare notes on how the weightloss is going.

Preop diet...none. My surgeon said I was good. I've been on a 1500 calorie diet for a couple of months...and he said I didn't need to change anything. But I'm a chicken, so I'm going to do my own preop diet next week...just liquids. Don't want my liver to get in the way or freak out when all I'll be having is liquids for the following 3 wks. You know?

Yeah, I'm having my surgery in Houston. I visited a few surgeons in the area...until I found one that I felt comfortable with.

Where are you? Tell me...what you're up to. :thumbup:

Hi Sbanfield,

I live in Ventura, CA, about 35 miles south of Santa Barbara. I'm so happy to have someone else going through this on the same day! I still haven't taken my before pixs yet, but when I do, I will post them. My hubs & I lived in TX for awhile when he was in the Army. But came home to CA when he was done.

I went to the Nutritionist on 6/30/09 and she gave me a pre-op diet to start on (actually today) but I couldn't wait and I started it on July 3rd. I've lost 8.5 lbs already! I've started walking again at work, it was very hard the first few days, but it's getting easier. I hope to run in a Marathon with my daughter in a year or so! At least that is one of my goals...Thanks for writing back. Take care and let me know how you are doing, good or bad...we all need all the support we can get.

ttys,

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
