Finally got my date for 27th March, start my ten day diet next week, can't wait to get healthy again.
hello, im Abby im deciding weather or not to get gastric bypass i have family members who have done it and the results were great, but it is a big life change. i was hoping to find people who can share in my struggle, and help me learn more to help make my decision.
I did well with the band and was happy with it, unfortunately I caught a stomach bug and vomited for three days and that's how I lost my band. The other surgeries scare me a little to be honest and are too permanent, although I do not view the band as a temporary option by any means, just that it can be reversed with your anatomy still in tact if need be.
Have you looked into VSG? Just curious why you want the band again? Hope all goes well:)
Hi Alicia! I went to the Weight Wise seminar with Dr. Walton a couple of weeks ago to find out more info, and I have my first official consultation this Thursday! I'm very excited, and hoping to get things moving very quickly. I'm leaning towards the VSG right now. I'm wondering what your timeline was from your first consultation to surgery date. Thanks!
I've had my upper g I done and my consultation with the dietician yesterday, just waiting for a surgery date now. Hope I don't have to wait too long I am ready to go. Ten day pre op diet, the last three liquids only. Shouldn't be too bad. The whole process has been really quick and easy so far.
Well after four years without a band due to a slip, I have finally decided to get another one after gaining all the wait plus thirty pounds more. I have been so miserable. The process has been a breeze. Appt with dr Holsaeter, upper gi as a precaution, dietician same day, no psych eval, no dietary requirements. I should get a date soon....yeah
