Hi! We don't have a list, we just made a thread for the local patients of Dr. G. Sadly, nobody really participated much and I kind of let this site go. My personal email address is paigeaddy@gmail.com. Please email if any of our locals become active again. Lately, it seems everyone post surgery is posting on the two facebook groups. Thank you for messaging me!

It took me a minute to find it again, but see if this link works: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/116900-georgia-lapbanders/ -
It's been so long since I've posted. I am not sure if the other ladies are still around, but I'd like to try to get a little more active. I've been slack about going to my support group meetings, but I did go to one this month. I also signed up for the Fall Fashion Show. I hope everyone is doing well!

It's been a while since I've posted. My life has changed so much since I had my surgery. I am currently down to 172 lbs! I no longer have to shop in the plus size department, I have more energy, came off of all medications and have a much better social life. Before, I was just too embarrassed to go out in public or hang around with my old friends and I was so tired all the time. Dr. Gorjala's office has definitely been a positive influence on my entire life. -

band feels tighter different times of the day
Paigey replied to icequeen813's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lol, I don't know why this thread didn't come up in my first search about this topic. Now I feel silly for bringing up that old one. This one is just the one I needed. -
Dredging up an old topic.... I didn't really see an answer for why this happens, so I thought I'd bring it up again for a fresh perspective. I'm on my third fill, but it didn't just happen with the last one. It actually started right after the first one. Anyway, my band is ridiculously tight in the mornings, it loosens up a little by lunch and I am able to do shakes or soups, but it's not until dinner time that I can eat anything with real substance. Does anyone know the reason for this? Is it something that usually evens out or is it just how the band works on some people?

I am almost 4 months into having my band and I still can only do shakes in the morning, mushies or Soup for lunch and a small healthy dinner. Not because it's what my doctor ordered for me, but because my band is so dang tight in the early parts of the day. Anyway, I was worried about nutrition, but getting burned out on my shakes with fat free milk and started looking for other options. The best thing I've come up with is mixing about half a cup of ice, two cups of orange juice and a big scoop of vanilla flavored Protein mix. It tastes sooooo good. Just like a Pushup™!

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing! I had my third fill today and couldn't be any happier with my progress. I am finally in "onederland"!

Mine took about 3 hours. I talked with the psychiatrist for about an hour and then took a really long test that asked hundreds of questions.

24 hours out of surgery

I propped pillows behind my back so I could sit up and sleep comfortably. I also took all of my pain medication and phenergan because they helped me sleep much better.
