Interest in my already done, Lap Band.

Feb 22, 2009

My lap band Surgery was done on 9-8-08.  For the 7 months Prior to that, I had been working toward RNY..............I was already drinking my Pre-op Carnation instant breakfast, when, 4 days before my RNY surgery, my Surgeon informed me that I COULD NOT have gastric bypass, due to my Celeosis.   I cannot explain how Devestated I was.   Anyway, I went ahead with the Lap Band Surgery.   Since then, I have only been for 1 Fill, only seen my Nutritionist for 1 visit, and have been eating Way Too Much!               Today, I decided that I had been Foolish long enough. I will try to utilize my Lap Band the way it is Planned to work. I will re-schedule the Fill and Nutritionist appointments, and will try hard not to kill myself with Food!   All encouraging comments are Welcome.

I am not having RNY surgery, due to my Health. Am having Lap Ba

Sep 04, 2008

My surgeon says I have a malabsorption disease, called celiac disease, in my small intestine.It is caused by a Protein in wheat, rye and barley products, that I can no longer ingest. Thankfully, it should clear up in about 6 months,(but, I will have to not eat any foods made with wheat, rye or barely, Forever).   Anyway, I am having Lap Band Surgery on September 8, 08.  That is only 4 days away!  I am Excited, and am now on my pre-op liquid diet.
