Abbott and Park Nicollet Support Meetings



Recommended Posts

Is anyone going to the Lap-Band Support Group meeting tonight at Abbott Northwestern? I attended my first one a few months back and this is the first opportunity I have had to be able to attend another one. I'm really looking forward to it, since I'm now "on the other side".

Here's what you need to know if you want to attend (I copied this from the OSSGMN calendar...):

LapBand support group at Abbott Northwestern Hospital Founders Mall Conference Room at the Sister Kenny Pavillion. Contact information:Joni Callahan 612-863-7501

Also, is anyone on this list planning to attend the Park Nicollet Support meeting tomorrow night? I've been told I will be the only bandster, but I'm interested in attending this since it's so close to home and I had my surgery through Park Nicollet.

Thanks.

The next meetings should be coming up soon. I think it was the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. I will have to check for sure. I had my band done at pnc by Dr. Wetherille too. It would be great to meet you sometime.

Hi Everyone,

I don't know if you heard, but Park Nicollet has created a new meeting just for their Lap-Band patients. The first ever meeting is at 6:00 PM on February 1 - Wednesday. I understand there will be monthly meetings for the time being - on the first Wednesday of the month.

The meeting will be held at 5050 Excelsior Blvd. in St. Louis Park. This is the old Citizens State Bank building and it's in front of the main Park Nicollet Clinic buildings.

Dr. Weatherille is also my surgeon and I'd love to me you and other PNC bandsters.

See you there!

      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.
