  1. i have been banded 5 weeks now, i have only lost about 6lbs since then. i am doing the diet, but still it is stalled. i lost about 11 pounds on the pre op diet. has this happened to anyone else,

  2. i had my surgery monday, so far so good, not too much pain, but i am all bloated from the gas. it hurts
  3. i got my band january 19, i am good except for the gas

  4. i have tricare and was approved in less than 2 weeks, on another note, how do you personally tell if your liver is shrinking, is it by urinating a lot? some one said this on another post, just wandering, this is where i am right now. thank you
  5. i get banded at the end of january or the first of februay. i go back to the dr. jan 12 and then if everything is good i do the 2 week liquid diet. good luck to everyone. merry christmas
  6. so far the diet is ok, i am really craving some bread, but i have held back, i finally got a call from the nutrionest that i went to, she was supposed to give me a diet guideline to go from, well she didn't and is going to send it by the middle of this next week, i just did the best i could do on my own. so far i have lost about 5 lbs this week, so i guess it is ok. i would love to keep in touch, my email is emuextrain@yahoo.com, my son who was 4 helped me set it up at the time. good luck i am really trying. i did the 6 month diet, and lost about 30 lbs. but i think this is harder.

  7. i think the gastric is a fast lose but it is drastic, i don't want to be down that long. i have a busy life, i am doing the lap band that is right for me. good luck, talk to your diabetic doctor, maybe they can help set your mind at ease. good luck.
  8. i am going to be banded the end of january, my 2nd appt with the surgeon is jan 12, then they will schedule a surgery if my liver has shrunk enough, i started the preop diet today, i hope i can do it. it is going to be hard to drink those shakes, does anyone have any recommendations thanks:thumbup:
  9. i am on the pre op diet, 2 protein shakes, a lean meat vegetable lunch, protein for breakfast, is this how your pre op diet is also, i am on it for a month, i hope i am doing it right, i could use some feedback thank you

  10. i go see my dietician on the 25th of this week , the surgeon on dec 9, i am finally on my way. they said surgery sometime after the 1st of the year. if the insurance will pay. always something isn't there.

  11. off the subject, i have tri care also, did you have health problems? i don't and i am worried they will not pay? i am only about 20 lbs from being 200 percent over my ideal weight. did you have a lot of trouble being approved

  16. is it from the anestesia(sp) that makes you so sick?or is it the band? i am in the pre lap band state, just trying to learn all i can. does everyone get sick,does it all last for days? also when you drink do you always have to sip? thanks for your help.
  17. i am also a almost banded, how far in the process are you? i am still waiting on the pre requested visits?

  18. how long did it take for the referals for the cardiologist, pulmonary, and physatrist? did the referal for the surgery come as soon as you finished the 1st surgeon visit? i am a tricare also thank you
