Yes, Adam Glasgow did my surgery on Aug 12th. I have my first "fill" next week. The support staff is excellent. Good luck to you!

To be honest with you, I'm not certain which incision is my port. (I was just banded on Aug 12th). Tomorrow my staples come off, I'll ask the surgeon about the port. I think it's the longest incision which is about 4inches above my belly button. Good luck tomorrow!!:smile:

I was banded on Aug 12th. I am still in the mushie stage, but yesterday went out to eat with my 8 yr old son. I haven't had much of an appetite since the surgery but yesterday I was STARVING!!!!. I ate some french fries. Figured if I chewed them well all would be ok. Not so.. I felt sick all night. Not sure if it was actually sick from eating the fries or from guilt because I veered off the diet. Oh well. I'm back on the mushies and feel ok now.:tongue: Donna

I have a similar medical card from my Doc. We are planning a family vacation to Disney in December. We have ordered the meal plan. I called the dining number and explained the situation and they changed my plan from an adult to a child! The person I spoke with said I will have to order from the childs menu...Not a problem.

BCBS covered all except dr.s office copays and $175 for psych eval tests. Donna

I could have low fat yogurt on my liquid diet. I added different flavor carb solution high Protein powders to the yogurt to give it taste. I made it through the 10 days! Donna

It's going well. I've lost 22 lbs already but i'm still on the liquid post op diet. The doc tells me I will probably gain some back when I proceed with the soft/full diet. So far, no troubles. Minimal pain. Donna

Hi, I had my banding done on August 12th by Dr. Adam Glasgow. He and his dad Arthur make a wonderful team. They are caring people. The office crew are also wonderful. Kind and efficient. I had my first seminar meeting on June 23rd. Throughout July and August I did my bloodwork, sleepstudy, nutrition and psych counseling. I was ready for surgery on the 12th of August. So far I have lost 22 lbs...between the preop and post op diet.:thumbup: Donna

I agree. They did my band earlier this month. Donna

HI, I'm from Uxbridge. It's a small town in the Blackstone Valley. I was banded on Aug 12th at Norwood Hospital.:thumbup: Donna

HI, I'm Donna. Had my lap band done August 12th. So far so good. Looking forward to my journey. Donna

I can see a big difference! Way to go!!!! Donna

Glad everything went well for you! I was hooked up to an IV for 24hrs. I went home the evening after my surgery. I found gas to be a bigger problem than pain. Hope all goes well. Keep grinning!!!!!

Hello, I'm Donna. From Massachusetts. I was banded on the 12th.

This may sound crazy, I'm not certain which incision is my port incision. The main incision (longest incision) is sometimes painful. I have staples still in- they'll be removed next Monday. I'll have to ask which incision is which. I can't feel the port. Is this normal?

I see my surgeon for my 2 week post op appointment next Monday. He has assured me that he does all the fills himself.

HI, I am new to this site. I had my lap band last Tuesday. Between the pre and post op diets I have lost 22 lbs. I look forward to advice from everyone. I am sooo glad I found this site!:wink2: Donna
