Emory Lapbanders?



Recommended Posts

Hello to all! I am looking for anyone that has been banded, or will be, banded at Emory in Atlanta.:thumbup: I feel the need to talk with someone. I go tomorrow (9/22) to see the surgeon and set up my surgery date. I'm getting nervous. :blink:Help!:)

PitPat,

I can't help with Emory, but I am being banded at Atlanta Medical Center on 10/8. If I can help in anyway, please let me know.

Hugs,

Jane

I'm not going to Emory either, but I'm here if you need to talk.

I've only got another week and I thought I'd be a lot more nervous than I am.

Hi PitPat

for some reason I could not reply to your message :smile2:

Maybe you can pm me and I can reply to that. Do you live here in ATL? We could attend support group together at Dekalb Medical post op!

How was your appt?

Hi!

I also can't speak exactly to Emory University but was banded earlier this month at Emory Johns Creek. Let me know if I can answer any questions.

      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.
