Welcome !!!!!!

Hi Darla, The Meal Replacement program was expected by by surgen. I went thru Hurley Bariatric Center in Flint Mi. The surgery was covered 100%, Thank Goodness. It is callled the 3 week Bariatric Surgery Kit. It cost me 228.00. I was realy never hungery. Of coarse, somethimes you just want to chew,, so I ate ice chips. Since my banding on Oct 26 counting one week before surgery I have lost 25lbs. Right now I hardly ever hungry. I can't drink all my replacements meals. I feel alot better now. My nausa is gone. My dr. had me start using a tranaderm patch behind my ear, and boy does it work. Anyways, I got the meal replacement kit at better MD.net. Or you can call them 877-578-1067 Good luck, Cheryl

Well this is the second time I joined in on this site. Had my surgery on Wednesday. Everything went great. Stayed overnight. I had the surgery in Flint Mi at Hurley. It was the first day they started the lap band. I was the third done. They treated me like a Queen. I had to be on liquids one week before the surgery and 2 weeks after. I had to purchase a kit by Better MD. Its a really good kit, kept me full most of the time. I'am feeling good except for a little pain when getting out of a chair or bed. I'am nauseas alot. But I have meds for that. I can't wait ti start on the mushie stage. I need something to chew on. Thanks, Cheryl

Thanks everyone for the info. I'am really alot better , Day by day. The nausa was really getting to me. But my doctor gave me a patch to put behind my ear and it made a big difference. Cheryl

Good for you. I was banded Oct. 26 Cheryl

I just found this site the other day. I'am having my lap band surgery this Wednesday at Hurley Hospital In Flint MI. I'am on a liguid diet for 1 week before and two weeks after the surgery. I had to purchase the Liguid kit on line for 228.00. So far so good, its day four. Any advice for before or after surgery? Cheryl
