Hi there - saw your post - I had surgery in March with Dr. Schmidt in the same office. It is the best decision I ever made. I love Nadia the nurse practioner who does my fills and am very happy with the office in general. I go to the monthly support group at Hackensack associated with the group too. Let me know if you have any questions or need any support! Good Luck!!!

Hi Cynthia,

I'm glad your experience was good. I have a lot of questions that came up just reading the site. Can we speak offline? My email is corkee26 at yahoo.

Hi Corkee,

I'm also getting my Lapband with Dr. Ewing at 11/19/10 as well. Small world!! What time is your surgery? I'm a little bit nervous about getting the surgery done. Are you in any pre diet that I'm reading about in this site?

Hi Cynthia,

Is nice to hear from someone who has gone thru it and has only nice things to say about them. Would you know if you need to pay for the support group in Hackensack?

Thanks guys, I hope to hear from you both.

Try this.

Click on my ticker and it will take you to the page.

the go to create my own ticker.

The top section that has all those codes - copy it.

go to lapband home page and then click on user CP on the bottom left of the top blue section on the page.

Go down to edit signature

Paste onto the signature box.

let me know if it works or you need more help.

Took me forever to figure it out.

I got as far as developing a ticker, but can't for the life of me figure out which box to paste it too in the signature page. Is that the big box or one of the two small boxes in the bottom?

I put it in the signature box and it doesn't work. Now what?! lol Also, once you have it, what do you do to make it change the weight as you lose it?

Thanks again,

Randee

      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.
