I was banded on 8/16/2007. Had my post op appt to have the staples removed and cleared to return to workon9/6/2007. I asked when I could schedule for my first fill and he said 6 weeks. I am starving!!! My appt was set for 10/22/2007 and today I got a call from the doctors office to reschedule because the doctor has meetings that afternoon. Guess when the next available appt is? NOVEMBER 12th. I do not think I can stand to wait that long. Anyone have any suggestions? :faint:

Hello Fello Eights, I thought I was doing fine. Had band placed 8/16. Went well. Went to post op appt on 9/6. Had staples removed and the big ok to return to work. Talked to my doctor about my slowly returning hunger and when I could get my first fill, he said 6 weeks. So my first fill was to be on 10/22 but the doctors office called me today to cancel my appointment for 10/22 and make another one. (doctor schedule changed) The soonest they have for me is NOVEMBER 12. I AM STARVING TO DEATH!!!!!! I am going nuts and am at the end of my rope. How can you use this tool if you can not get it to work. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you all for being here when we need it most. :cry

Thanks guys. I was really looking forward to my first fill. I guess I wanted to vent a little. I will keep up with my band rules and hang in there. Thanks bunches.

:hungry:Week one of pre op down and three to go.:omg:And a teenage sleep over at my house this weekend.:omg: Boys, boys, boys and lots of junk food, you name it we got it!!!:faint:I'm sorry but I am talking my way through some cravings here. I figure if and when I have a craving I will just type away until it's gone, so guys just bear with me, I may be doing alot of talking to myself but life goes on, Right??? Thanks for the ear,

I know this may sound strange but when I drink my protien shakes my teeth hurt. I do not have sensative teeth and nothing ever hurts them. Or maybe its ALL IN MY HEAD. Anyone have any ideas. :eek: Thanks,

Hello Guys, My pre op diet is 4 weeks of 2 protien shakes a day and 1 meal of 4oz meat and 2 veggies. And water.... lots of water.

Hello, Jeanne and banding is 8/16/07

Hello, West Columbia, South Carolina.

Hello Fello Ates, I have started my pre op diet and its going to be harder than I thought it would be. I do not care for the protien shakes at all but I do get one small meal a day. I too am going through th ups and downs emotionally. And I keep reading for support. Thanks everyone for being here.

Ok, I have started my pre op diet and these protien shakes are really bad. I know I have to do this. And I think I have my banner and ticker up and running. Wishing everyother Crazy Ates good luck. I just previewed my signature and I have done something wrong:confused::help:I am computer duhhhhh!!!! Thanks

Joining the Band wagon on August 16. Looking forward to a wonderful ride. JS Columbia, S.C.
