Well, I had my surgery on Nov 7th also, and I haven't felt hunger yet...matter of fact I have to force myself to eat. My problem is getting more than 100 calories in a day. I have to agree with the previous post, drink a lot of water and make sure your drinking your protein drinks...

It seems the holidays are just around the corner. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on dealing with all the food that is all around you the month of December. Once December hits, everyday someone in my office will bring homemade treats also, all the parties I have to attend. There is a lot of stress during the holidays and food have always help me cope. I will be banded Nov. 7th and I alway like to plan ahead. If anyone have any tips..Thanks :help:

My surgery is just a few weeksa away. I have to say my insurance company approved me very quickly. I knew with-in a week I was approved and three weeks before my surgeon received the approval letter. The only thing that my insurance requested is that I had tried to lose weight and it's documented by my physician. Two years ago I tried to lose weight with my doctor and dietian help. I also tried numerous of other diets. The best advise I can give you is to work with your insurance company and don't give up. When I was looking into lapband surgery I called my insurance company before I spoke to my doctor.
