Is it only me? Help!
travellegal replied to Bandana's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for your insight. I was banded March 19th and am now on mushies and starving. I'm eating all the food I'm supposed to, not fattening. Sugar free, etc. protein, but I am hungry all the time. I wonder if the doctor put in a lap band. -
Hi;
My surgery went very well. The hospital was great. Having a little discomfort at the sites but that is to be expected. All I can say is walk, walk, walk. The gas pains after surgery are bad but can be treated with walking.
Good luck.

I'm sure you will make the right decision. I live in Ball Ground near Woodstock. Didn't know there was a doctor there. But I had to go to a doctor that used by insurance and I am happy with Dr. Hart. Tomorrow is my big day. A little nervous

getting banded on March 19th

Hi; My surgery is scheduled for March 19th at 7:30 a.m. I have to be at the hospital at 6:00. We live 1 hour away so we will be up very early. I hope they give me something to relax me when I get there. How are you doing? I don't start liquids until the day before surgery. So today is the last eating day for a while. Think I'll have something good. -

Just a few more days and we will be banded. My surgery is the 19th as well. Nervous, excited and a little scared. -
Buying clothes throughout weightloss?
travellegal replied to katie78's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I either go to Cato or Dress Barn. Their prices are very reasonable. They have a plus size side and a smaller size. I can't wait to shop in the smaller sizes. Good luck -
Hi, I live in Ball Ground and I am scheduled to have surgery on Wednesday. I am using Dr. Hart at Atlanta Bariatrics and seem pleased. Glad to hear you didn't get blown away from the storms. Downtown is a mess I hear.

Surgery next week and worried
travellegal replied to cmcallister2's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having surgery on the 19th and nothing was said by the dietician about a special diet. I only have to do clear liquids the day before. It will be interesting to see the posts from your thread to see if I should cut down and forego my "last meal" on Monday the 17th. Have not decided what to eat but be sure it will be delicious. -
Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
travellegal replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi Lynn: I met with the dietician today. Everything she told me I have learned from this forum. I have to order the protein shakes Unic;;;;;sp something like that. I guess they get their cut from the company but I'll go along with it. I plan to do what the doc says. Cindy -
Roommate saw I was on Lapbandtalk.com...Came to my room to tell me it's wrong!
travellegal replied to a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
She needs to be very careful what she says. If she keeps this up I would report her to her supervisor of nursing as giving medical advice. -
my date is March 19th as well. Keep in touch and good luck. I meet with the dietician today.

travellegal replied to whimsy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

Pre-banding Feed Frenzy....
travellegal replied to HarleyGirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, it is the last supper syndrome. I am going to visit my parents this weekend and I gave them a list of all my favorite foods to prepare. I went for biscuits gravy and tenderloin Sunday, Saturday, Olive garden, bread and salad and pasta with dessert. My surgery is the 19th of March and my preop liquid diet is only one day before. At this rate I'm going to have to change all my patient information regarding my weight and measurements. -

My surgery is the 19th. I thought they didn't put any fill in at the time of the surgery. Wow I'm learning as I go. -

Will I be able to take my daily medications right after my surgery. Should I check with my pharmacy to see if they come in liquid form?
