I am about to be banded soon, so I want to stock up and watch for sales. I want to know which protein shakes actually taste good, and which nutrition bars taste good. Any advice appreciated. Any online deals for buying them?

I have upmc, it covered my band and all fills without problem. it didnt cover the nutritionist fee that you are forced to have.

I had reflux and heartburn for the first time after my last fill of 2.9 in a 4cc band. I suffered for 6 months, then went for an ugi with my doctor. he had to take out only 0.2cc and i was much better. no more reflux and cough. I used to wake up in the middle of the night coughing and gagging from reflux in my sleep 3 hrs after i went to bed.

Has anyone tried Xenical for weight loss?
jadrad7 replied to Dutchgrl59's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
when i asked my pcp about it a couple years ago, he told me it increased your chances of getting colon cancer. i tried it anyway and didnt lose enough to be worth it. -
hi, i had the lapband 9/03 at magee hospital near pittsburgh. you can email me or ask here. what do you want to know?

I am a chocoholic..........i need a 12 step program!

I am starting to see an ankle bone that i havn't seen for 20 years, it has been a dimple for so long.....

congratulations, I cant wait to shout from the roof tops too!

Welcome to the board!

I am having the same trouble. I had my band in september and have been stuck at 30#. I get pain with meats even if i chew well so i know the band is tight enough, but i tend to nibble on other stuff too often because i dont feel full for long enough. My plan of action is too force more liquids between and lay off the flat diet dr pepper which triggers me to keep snacking. I hope we can figure this thing out! I want to lose!

I look forward to: sleeveless sundresses in the summer being brave enough to go in a public pool running into old friends (now i hide) riding a real bike without fearing the brakes wont hold squeezing into my dtr's clothes not worrying if i will fit in the amusement park rides my kids being proud of me !
-
Your date sounded really nice!
-
I had all the above, plus a really nasty test: esophageal motility test
-
I vote for chili too! I dont normally like anything spicy but it was satisfying and had the meat crumblets that filled me up. Also, it was convenient when i was out and about to go to the fast food drive thru (wendy's) .

Surgery isnt easy, but 2 days after you will be so happy you went thru it. Like having a baby, well worth the discomfort to get the end prize! we will be here for you.

I was just amused that: Now i wash my clothes in hot Water, hoping that they shrink! I save so much money now that i dont look for sales on cases of diet pepsi and Snacks. I read nutritional labels for the first time in my life! I bought my first bra with an underwire in it! I enjoy looking at those home movies now..knowing the difference in me. What about you?!
-
I was given a prescription for axid, which is a substitute for prevacid, told to take it twice a day for 3 months, then no more. I did find out i had mild reflux (assymptomatic). I think it is just a precaution to keep the acid down while we are healing. You probably have a little reflux too.

Maybe you should watch Dr. Phil on tv, he has a weight loss group and a couple of the women are dealing with the same issue. You could keep tabs on the ones you are similar to, and take his free advice. It cant hurt.
