hello just was banded on the 15th . i also had been feeling the same way . evrery day gets better. remember its like your fasting your body is fasting all part of withdrawl and shock to the body of going into burning fat mode . drink protein drinks the muscle milk is great . also jello feels like your eating. walk or clean around the house. Make sure your taking vitamins and calcium for muscle loss because wedo lose these due to shortage in foods. Its all an adjustment make sure you eat.

just had surgery two days ago feeling discomfort trying to find good position to sleep . cannot wait to feel better , Although happy to have had the surgery . any suggestions on time line to feeling better

can anyone tell me why didnt they choose gastric bypass instead of lapband. the numbers with gastric are sooo much successful . i see the lapbanders struggle so much more and seemed to have slower progress or non at all. I changing my mind about lapband and leaning towards gastric. After all this weighting and struggle i want to be successful.im meeting with my surgeon minday about my doubts. He said gastric is better for me . i need to lose 130lbs.

im addicted to diet coke doesnt this affect the weight loss "carbonated Drinks"

awesome thanks for ypur inspiring words :

Hello i saw how much lost you have lost. How long did it take you to lose the 154 lbs?? and what type of regimen did u hold. im a newbie im scheuled for the 9/15/11.

hello my doc said food was fine as long as it was 800 calories. this is so the liver wont store fat or carbs turn into sugar. I think most of us cutting 1000 calories daily makes a difference in the body vs 4000 daily lol

lol my surgeons assistant is that type of person , however i had to put her in her place a few times . I have low tolerance for the BS , because they make you feel less than, however somehow when your in their face at let them know" IM NOT TAKING YOUR CRAPP WORKS. it happened to me with my psychologist assistant she accused me of not wantimg to pay her the fee . In the office i screamed at her and let her have it , there were mental patients their, actually one . I sat down and excused my self . I saw him eventually and excused myself expessing to him "im not a thief ",and he needed to change his worker which i had an inclination was his WIFE LOL LOL . He gave me the receipt and told me good luck . The journey has been challenging , but laughter after makes it bearable.

my insurance covers the nutritionist , and ultimately is the choices we make at the end of the day . also my surgeon calls me if i have a question this is how You make a decision on who you choose as a doctor , not someone you feel your imposing on thier time. This is ones health and costly i may say . We have the power lets take it!!!!!!!

OH UNDER HIPPA Law she supposed to release this information .if she refuses theres also someone above that person google her name and you can find out alot of information if your really upset , if not move on to someone new

HELLO DURING MY VISITS I SAW THE NUTRITIONIST WHO WAS LOCATED IN THE SAME HOSPITAL MY SURGEON PRACTICES.HOWEVER YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO CHOOSE UNDER WHOS AVAILABLE UNDER YOUR INSURANCE ,WHICH INFORMS U THE REQUIRED PROCEDURES NEEDED.iF YOU HAVE COMPLICATIONS LIKE sleep APNIA WILL REQUIRE AN EXTRA EXAM . mY DOCTOR HAD A QUESTIONARE WHICH SCREENS WHO WOULD HAVE IT.tHE NUTRITIONIST I SAW HER ONCE AND THATS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED, UNLESS YOU PERSONALLY FELT YOU NEEDED TO SEE HERFOR MORE SUPPORT, THEN ALOT OF INSURANCE WILL REQUIRE A REFERRAL.ALL EXAMS INCLUDING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IS ONE INCLUDING THE ENDOSCOPY ARE ALL EXAMS PRIOR TO SURGERY INCLUDING A CHEST XRAY.tHE PRIMARY UNDER MY INSURANCE MONITORED ME FOR 6 MONTHS AND DISCUSSED DIET AND EXERCISE . hIS NOTES ARE REQUIRED AND ARE SENT TO THE INSURANCE STATING YOU NEED THE SURGERY. i HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL.IF UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SURGEON THEN SWITCH. INSURANCE IS TO EXPENSIVE TO BE JERKED AROUND BY THESE SO CALL PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE NO VESTED INTEREST IN THEIR PATIENTS.
