I had lapband on 5/26/10 at Peconic Bay Hosp in Riverhead, NY performed by Dr. P. Mehta.

Completely satisfied despite having open procedure secondary to previous surgery. Currently have drainage from operative site which is more of a housekeeping problem than medical. Had first fill yesterday.

I too was banded by Dr. Mehta! I just love her!

My surgery was March 24th and I have to say I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Including the pain. It was a small price to pay to becoming healthier! Congrats on being banded by an awesome surgeon and I wish you lots of luck in your new banded life! :)

I am very pleased with Dr. Mehta also. How do I get that BMI Bar on my posts?

Try this:

Novbeginning, go to the website, www.tickerfactory.com and create a pin number for yourself (remember it) and then continue on creating your ticker.

When you are finished, at the bb: box (the top one) at the end, highlight all the contents, right click and click "Copy".

Then come into this website and log in. Click on UserCP in the Menu Bar, then "Edit Signature" on the left. Then click in the big white box, then right click and click on "Paste". You should see your ticker appear. Go down to the bottom of the page and click on Save Changes.

When you want to change it, just go into UserCP, Edit Signature, and double click on your ticker at the top of the page. It will take you to the tickerfactory website, where you can log in (with your remembered pin number!) and make your changes.

Once finished, when you return to this site, your ticker will automatically be changed. Technology is fantastic!

I hope that helps :tt2:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
