mac73------first of congrats your do fine and thanks I believe when I go back to see the doctor on the 9th of July to see why he couldn't do the band he would probably try to talk me into the sleeve or the gastric but due to all my medical complication's such a have had 3 kidney transplants and in which the 3rd one that I now have for 12 yrs I would do nothing to put the kidney in jeopardy

hi peoples I got on the table they started with the banding and stopped I was told my stomach was to high to do it and that there was something hard behind my stomach which was unusual so they took samples to find out what it was and I here back from them in 2 weeks to see what direction to go from there even know I felt like I had it done with all the bloating and aches and pains

I have surgery on Monday the 24 not nervous or anything like that I'm in the hospital what's the worst that can happen if there should be something to go wrong I am in the perfect place for it to happen ill worry when there something to worry about

try bariatric shakes there a meal replacement which has all the vitamins and minerals as well as good amount of protein those other shakes don't have all that things in them

I was suppose to have surgery on Tuesday but they called and told me to come in on Monday and have it done since I already lost 30 pounds I think that would make it a little easier on me

im on the 2 week protein diet 4 shakes a day only with all the water I can drink and I am a diabetic to my sugar drops very low in the 70s doing something or just doing nothing so I keep orange juice on me or other kind of juice I was shopping to and it dropped I grabbed something of the shelve and started drinking it to get it back in a range

myself I had to go to two meetings required saw the doctor and had to write a letter discussing why I wanted the surgery had to see the dietitian which had to pay for then saw the crazy doctor to make sure im ok which I had to pay for then waited about 3 months until I heard from them then talked to doctor again then his office set up the date then paid for the protein drinks all about 4 months

Suzanne yes a full liquid diet only 3 to 4 protein shakes a day with water in between im not looking forward to the weekend but it would be the true test to see how bad I want this

I'm scheduled for the 24th of this month @ this is my forth day on the protein diet and really don't feel that hungry I can just have a protein shake with water or milk but if I have it with milk I cant drink milk so I use it with water and ad a little vanilla extract to it to give it more of a flavor

keep us informed

I start my shake pre-diet on Monday and I actually gave it a taste tonight not too bad I mixed it with milk and it turned out as thick as a milk shake just make sure its blended real good or u get clumps and that's not good

I would go and just say u ate before u came there and don't eat just have water and enjoy the company

I recommend premium protein from Costco

going to banded on the June 25th doing a 2 week protein drink I hope a don't slip up and eat something tasty
