6 weeks post up question
Banjo257 replied to Mandylove's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 5 wks out, no fill. I could eat and eat if I didn't stop myself. I have counted on greek yogurt and protein shakes to fill me up. 700 to 1000 cals a day. -
Yogurt, cheese sticks, rolled turkey slices.

Bcbs took care of me. I hope they do the same for you! Good luck

Chest pains? Please call your doctor or get checked out at an er. Good luck.

You are so strong and so brave. Your video would help so many people that feel they are alone. Every time I try to exercise, whether walking or going to a gym, I can feel the stares. Knowing I weight more than professional football players, ouch. The pain now is my fear that I won't be able to succeed with the band. Best of everything to you, you helped me, and I appreciate it.

Hi. Don't hesitate to make a call to ypur doc. Everyone on here means well, but unless their profile name has MD next to it, I'd be leery. Remember it's your health. Good luck.

What are you talking about?! -
Not as important as a parent, but my godmother/aunt told me I would never have friends, no one hangs out with fat people. I wasnt fat when she first started her mantra, but I self fullfilled that prophecy.

Weight limit for surgery
Banjo257 replied to songbird81's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have heard people have needed to lose a significant amount of weight before surgery. I understand it seems strange cause if we could do that on command we wouldnt need a band. -

Maybe she insecure and afraid you will steal her thunder when you reach your goal. Giving you bad, but potentially dangerous advise, shame on her. This serpent has shone her fangs, stay pisitive at a safe distance. : )

What questions should I ask doctors when deciding on the "Right" Doc?
Banjo257 replied to lyndeeboo's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Follow up is HUGE but I have come to feel that the pre surgery education is crucial. I had to go to six classes. Meet with post op people also. The original group had about 35 people in it. When they lesrned what is involved, we dwindled down to five. Educate educate educate yourself.
