Banded Tomarrow..FINALY!



Recommended Posts

Tomarrow is the big day, it seems like I have been waiting forever! Good things come to those who wait..ha! I live with my Dad and he has been really sick with the flu.....NOT GOOD! He is still pretty sick,but he is my caretaker and I'm sure he will be fine. I just do not want to catch it....coughing with incesions...can you say OUCH!!!! But I trust God will take good care of us both. I want to thank all of you, this site has been such a wealth of information! I would have never felt this confident without all the hours spent here. Wish me luck..soon I will be a REAL BANDSTER! HA!:Bunny

Good luck! I wish you all the best! It's great to have your Dad taking care of you.. I hope you're both up & around and feeling good real soon.

Take a pillow with you for the ride home, I hear it helps a lot.. especially to "cushion" the bumpy ride home. I'll be joining you on Monday 10/10, I'm also getting excited/anxious.

Keep us updated!

Terrilen......Good luck tomorrow with your surgery! I hope you have as smooth a time as I did. I almost couldn't believe that I had even had surgery cause it went so well. I know you have to be a little nervous mixed with so much anticipation and excitement. Just know that you are about to begin the most wonderful journey. What a wonderful thing to have your Dad with you to help you out after your surgery. Just a bit of advice. Get you some chewable GasX and have them ready when you get home if you need them. Also, walk as much as you feel up to. Walking definitely helps with the gas pains and the GasX does too. Keep us posted and once again.....good luck!

      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!!
