Hi j cash I'm new to the lap band myself... I was banded in 5-11-2012.... I am 5'9 with a bmi of 42.... I did not have any health problem other than my knees and the bmi and I was approved thru my insurance.... I'm glad that I did the band and I choose the band because it had less complications than others... I'm trying to learn how to eat right as we all know the good stuff is bad for you and the stuff that is good for you ..I don't like... Go figure right... But slowly I'm gradually changing my taste buds for these things....I also was trying to prevent the high blood pressure/diabetes as I'm getting older ( close to 50) and I did MIT want to have to battle those conditions either..... I say go for it and good luck..I'm in STL so I can not help u with a doctor but if u ever come this way I can hook u up with the best doctor here.

I got my band on 5/11/12 and I am in need of good recipes see they told me to stay away from beef n pork and I'm not sure what to eat or how to eat.... Are any if u guys eating beef n pork and if so had it made u sick as I'm sick of fish, ck and turkey... I'm also looking for a mentor any takers.... I want to be very successful at this

I am 5 days post op.....I think every doctor provides a different post op meal as my doctor has placed me in clear liquids with protein for the first week 2nd week soft foods like mash.. Apple sauce.. Jello...3rd week soft foods and intro to meat like ck n fish avoiding the red meats. I am so afraid if the saggy skin looking for advise not to get any...pls help any advise will help!!!
