  1. Medicare just approved me for 6 visits. I had lap band done April 2011 with another doctor. Both doctors are in the Melbourne, Fl I changed doctors even though I paid $3,700.00, as the orginal doctor just tighen my band even though I developed numerous lung infections due to reflux. My copay currently is $25.00 per fill/visit.

    Has Anyone Tried Ensure Clear?

    I took mine back to the store. The FIRST TWO INGREDENTS Were two different forms of sugar. I did taste one bottle--it tasted like vitinams. Not worth the price for calories.
  3. How do you know the band needs to be "repositioned"? How does the doctor reposition the band?

    Traveling With Lapband Friendly Foods

    Public grocery stores sell 3oz cans of chicken. You could mix with single servings of low fat mayo. Also, freeze some yougurt or cheese.

    Need Some Help With Food Storage

    I freeze sauces, cream soups, and chicken in ice cube trays. Once frozen, I pop them out, then put in plastic storage bags. I take out only what I need for that meal. They defrost on the counter nin no time. I also, freez "milk" cubes for shakes.
  7. I'm in despirate need of affordable vitamins. Where is the best place to purchase some?
  8. I had protien powder to my bottle protien shakes (boost). I add about a tablespoon into the bottle-I make a "funnel" with my hand. then spoon the powder in. I also, have a BIG problem getting my protein in each day.
