I eat at restaurants very frequently for business and socially so I thought this might be helpful for some of you that have recently had surgery or are considering plication.
I ordered a BBQ chicken sandwich, baked potato and the restaurant serves biscuits. I ate 2 bites of the biscuit before my meal came, about 3-4 bites of the potato and about 3/4 of 1/2 the sandwich. I normally don't eat the bread on top of the sandwich, but I hadn't eaten breakfast and was pretty hungry! I also had 2 bites of banana pudding and 1 vanilla wafer cookie. I was very full and now I have dinner for tonight! :)
I will be posting another entry about my life now at 8 months out later.
Take care,
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI know this is out of the blue, but I have read your blog and wanted to talk to you about your band revision to plication surgery. Dr. Billy is also my doc and suggested that I pursue this. Since the procedure is not widely used I haven't been able to talk to anyone about their experience. Would you be willing to exchange emails?? Insurance has finally approved me and I see him next week to start finalizing and getting my surgery scheduled.
Hope you are willing to talk!
Kary
Hi Kary,
DeleteDid you have the surgery? I am also researching it and looking for someone to connect with.

Stefanie,
DeleteI haven't had the surgery yet. I actually decided after much research and talking with Dr. Billy do go thru with the bypass. I go in on Monday for the revision. I'm def. nervous, but excited.
Hi Jenn,
ReplyDeleteI am also looking to connect with someone who is more than a year out of surgery and wondered if you would be willing to connect with me regarding your experiences?
