I was banded on 2/17/11. I have lost 26 lbs since my pre-op began I am VERY VERY disappointed, confused and without direction. My nutritionist has moved, and I have very little support. I am not nsure what I am supposed to be doing, and have since lost my insurance. Im extremely discouraged. most of the online information about lap-bands is for pre-surgical patients. I am desperate and need some help and guidance.
