Banded 8/26----first fill 10/15 (they made me wait until I was back from a trip to Vegas). I feel nothing, want another Actual process took 30 seconds.

Congratuations! I am only 1 month out and already feel big changes. I am so happy for you!

I had to pay the $200 also. It wasn't called a consultation fee, I don't remeber what they called it. I also had to pay a $150 fee for the Psych report.

I have GHI PPO throught the UFT and they covered my lap band. Good Luck!

Ok August rushers... I need to know. Is anyone else having poop issues? I don't poop for days. I eventually gove in and take some MoM, but now that I am back at work I am afraid, as the need to go comes on fast and furious. I am on week 1 of the high protein puree stage (liquids + soft eggs, shreddeed tune/cicken, pureed soups). I'm not drinking as much water as I should, but even when I was...:wub:

I use, and am pretty happy with: Calorie Counter Database - Free Online Diet Program I really like the recipe analyzer. You can input the recipes you use the most and it breaks it down for you with a nutrition label. You can also track your activity on th activity log.

Liquid Tylenol amd plenty of broth. Good Luck!

I liked the swiss mocha (although I'm told its best to go with reg. chocolate), the banana creme & ORange. I HATED the orange. The other 2 were ok. I made them in the blender with skim milk, benefiber and ice. When I was out and about i'd fill the shaker they sent with my order with milk and ice and combine when ready. the ice made it combine quite nicely. Good luck! I have a couple of packets left if you'd like to taste them I could mail them to you. not sure which flavors, or how much time you have untill you need to start them...Or if you'd be comfortable with that :thumbup:

First, you should find out the reason for the change in policy. If it's at the request of your employer...you have to ask the procedure for getting it approved on an individual basis. Good Luck

Hi and welcome! I am just over 2 weeks post op and feel great! Well, except for this sciatic nerve flare I have going on--but I don't think that has to do with being banded. My first 2 days back at work were rough, not used to the constant activity. Otherwise I am adjusting well and I hope you do too.
