I was banded 12/6/2010. I also had a hiatal hernia which was found during my surgery. It would be wonderful if the insurance would pay half, my surgery was $16,750.00 out of pocket. I was told to consume clear liquids only the first week, with sugar.Italian ices, popsicles, clear fruit juice. The second week adds yogurt and protein shakes but non caloric drinks only. I have not lost any weight and am ravenous. my pre-op weight was 194.5. My goal is 125 at 5'5" but they have written in 147. My next appointment is 12/16 with the Dr. My first fill is not until 1/5/2011. Does this sound in keeping with your schedule? Thank you.
