I had the lap band in February 2008. I've been so off track and can't seem to get back my focus. I didn't know it would be so hard! I just spent an hour looking at before and after pictures of others and dreaming! I WANT TO BE MY OWN BEFORE AND AFTER ..I'M TIRED OF THE FANTASY..I WANT IT TO BE MY REALITY!!!!!!

I know these posts are a bit old, but I'd like to say that I had my surgery with Dr. Selim and have had three fills. I have nothing bad to say about him or my experience. He's very talented and professional!

Was that with pre-op weight loss too?

Just saw your pictures...WOW!!! You look so great! You must be so proud! Good for you!!!!

I made it into the 2's today!!!!!!!!!

I'll have to go home and check the brand, but I buy them at Walmart. They are 60 calories. I also use them to make chips. I bake them with pam and garlic seasoning! SO GOOD! I'm on the Missouri side. Who did you surgery? Are you going to support groups anywhere? I need to do that.

The low carb flour shells are better for you.

Hey, I'm from Missouri as well and we have a similar band date. Where are you?

I got your message about Dr. Selim. I'm so sorry I rarely check my messages. I've done pretty good..I've lost almost 70 pounds since Feb 11th. Dr. Selim was a great surgeon, but I will say he does not have a lot of bedside manner. I initially went through the weight loss surgical center but because of insurance had to go to KU with Dr. Selim for the surgery. I think this hurts only in that you don't have the full support of the surgical center. I had to take over a lot of things myself. Anyway, where do you live? Age? etc? Tell me more about you!

Hi!
I googled Dr. Seliem today because i'm supposed to be having surgery with him--I found out today that I was approved by insurance!
How long did it take his people to call you for your pre-op appointment?
Did you like Dr. Seliem?
How are you feeling now--how are things going for you?
Any info is appreciated!
Thanks

My vote is you are not eating enough calories. I eat anywhere from 1000-1300 calories a day and I try to vary this so my body doesn't get stuck. I had surgery 6 months ago and I've lost 60 pounds so far. I've noticed that if I eat less, then I don't lose. I also workout about an hour a day with both cardio and weights. Here's a typical day for me: BK: Protein shake(15 protein) AM snack: Greek Yogurt(13 protein) Lunch: Tuna w/ a little mayo and sweet relish(20 protein) Tomato slices or a little fruit if I have any room Snack: Fruit/or/almonds(6 protein)/or/cottage cheese(12 protein) Dinner: Chicken(2-3 oz)(18-27 protein) Veggie Snack: protein bar(20 protein) Hope this helps and good luck in your journey. -
My four year old got strep throat 2 weeks before my surgery..so guess what..about a week before my surgery, I got it too. I called my primary doctor and explained that the surgery was coming up so without seeing me or anything she prescribed some high powered antibiotics and I got in 3 or 4 days of them prior to the surgery. My surgeon then put me on another full dose after the surgery. All went well!
