Hi. I'm newly banded on 6/25 and am normally very active (not right now):help:. I'm still in the liquid stage but am feeling very weak. are there any liquid vitamins or other items besides protein shakes to help.

i was also banded on the same day and my port is sore as well. Not having any issues with intake, just feeling weak but have gotten some new protien and iron sources. Good luck to you as well!

Thanks for the reply! I did go to the store today and buy the liquid centrum and some Whey and I'm going to make my own shakes. I will go to get that liquid Iron though thanks!

Hi! I was just banded on 6/25/07 with Dr. Ortiz just south of San Diego. Great Dr. and very professional office. Very clean. The cost was $8,500 and would recommend him. I've also talked to the Dr.s on the 800 number and they call back and talk.

beverly, I am newly banded as well, 6/27/07 and don't know the answers either. Would you forward me what answers you receive.! Thanks, Jamie jvhargitt@yahoo.com

Hi everyone. This is my first post and I'm looking at all options to see what I can do to start living again. My BMI is 36 and I'm 35 and I've been overweight since age 10. I remember my mom always telling me in school that I needed to lose weight and putting me on every diet in the world. I vividly remember telling her while in high school to leave me alone, that I liked who I was. When I look back at those pics, I wasn't even overweight. Now, 80lbs later, I know that I am. With having been diagnosed with MS (no real symptoms though ) and diabetes in my family, I KNOW I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NOW! I've tried talking with the random Dr.'s I get with tricare and all they do is send me to nutritional where the pep talk is and a book on how to eat right. Any advise on getting approved on something like this? My hubby deploys in Mar and I'd like to suprise him when he gets home. Thx! Jamie

Dani, I'm also tricare and have met with the wellness clinic. She wasn't completely evil, but then she runs marathons for the fun of it and doesn't eat sweets at all. IF ONLY... anyway, it's been a few months since this Aug post. What have you found out? Thx. Jamie at Ft. Bragg. NC
