Did anyone postpone Lap Band after everything?
makeyourself posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Did anyone postpone their Lap Band surgery after they went through everything (testing, pre op diet, etc) to try a healthy eating lifestyle (diet lol) one last time? -

Gas! ok I know they pumped me with CO2 but really this much?
makeyourself replied to Amanda2013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay this is a dumb question. Everyone is mentioning using the heating pad. I bought one for the surgery. Now, where do I put it? LOL -

I'm not diabetic but even the lapband.com website says 800-1200 calories. I'm going to call the office today. I just don't think 450 calories is right. -

Yes. I have all of the complete information I need for MY pre op. I am asking what OTHER people were required out of curiousity. -

I am supposed to have 3 shakes which equals 450 calories of the protein powder they sold me and my BMI is 51. I've just finished day 1 and while I'm fine today, I don't know that I can last 2 weeks. 450 calories seems excessively low. -

Endocronologist evaluation?
makeyourself replied to ireallywannabthin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
She asked me a ton of questions and then made m get a full blood panel. Most of the doctors overlapped in what they did. Such a waste of time and insurance money, if you ask me.. -
350 Pound Woman Falls Through Side Walk.....
makeyourself replied to PattyGirl66's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm from NY so I was watching the news the day this happened.... I was absolutely mortified for this woman. Come to find out she is my age and around my weight!! The newscaster actually said she is "somewhat of a large person" and I texted my friend about it. Really sad!! -

Thanks everyone. I realize everyone is here to help. I was hoping someone that had had LB with a small toddler could offer any advice. Thankfully I have his sitter, my mom and his dad helping for a full 7 days after surgery but I am going to resume much of his care after that. I had him Via c-section so I'm no stranger to stomach pain while taking care of a baby. I'm also concerned with the mindless eating that comes along with taking care of a baby. He grazes much of the day and what he doesn't eat I tend to automatically put in my mouth. Before I joined the site I was confident this was going to work, but reading about people that haven't lost a pound has totally scared me! I realize its in their power to change that but it still scares me. -
I've seen on this site that there are two types of bands - one that holds more saline(14cc?) and one that holds less (10cc?) Who decides which one you get?

Thank you!

Banded for 4 + years and never lost a pound
makeyourself replied to MARK1561's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am from NY and I am going to the New York Bariatric Group in Nassau County. www.stopobesityforlife.com I would recommend them (with the exception of an insurance issue that they overlooked which caused my surgery to be pushed back 2 days - however, that is a small bump in the road). -
PreOp Diet - is green smoothie okay?
makeyourself posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone - I'm new to the board. I got the great news that my surgery was approved this week. My surgery is scheduled for Monday, January 28 and I start my liquid diet on Monday 14th. I just purchased the Nutribullet this weekend and I am curious if along with my Protein shakes it would be okay to include green smothies for the 2 weeks leading up to surgery? Did anyone else do this? Thank you. -
