Thanks so much!!! I'll be going to the drugstore tonight. :smile2:

Good question... I was banded on 10/13 I am glued and only have tape over my glued port incision. They didn't say anything to me about taking the tape off. Should I take it off or just wait until it peels off on its own?

Try the whey protein shots. They are 3 oz and contain 42g of protein. They are good and come in a few different fruity flavors. Not very expensive either.

Hope I'm not being too nosey... But I was approved for the GB and was suppose to have surgery today and changed my mind last Thursday to be banded instead. What is your BMI? I have Cigna and I had to go through a 6 month diet trial also. Just wonder how they make their decisions.

Hi All, I was scheduled to have GB on 8/4. On 7/31 I rescheduled and changed to the band. Has anyone else been through this? I just had that "don't get on the plane" feeling. If anyone has changed their mind last minute can you tell me if you think you made the right choice? :cursing:

Thanks for all the post. I feel much better now. I will keep posting I think this is a great way to support each other. It's just really sad I had to have my husband show me how to navigate and post. ha ha :biggrin2:

My niece and I went through the 6 month program together. From the beginning I was unsure which procedure to go with. She had gastric bypass on 7/16 and to date has lost 34 pounds. My husband was just a nervous wreck thinking I was going to die from the procedure. He found every horror story you could imagine. People loosing their teeth to breaking bones just from walking. I feel he did encourage me to change my mind which my niece is just furious about. But I feel in my heart it will be better. Thanks for the post.

Sorry to post on your question but apparently I need HELP... First time user. Can't figure it out. How do I start a new thread.
