I have had my band on for eight years and have lost and kept 100lbs off. In two weeks I am having surgery once again because my band has slipped:( The surgeon will be removing the old one and putting in a new one. I thought about removing it completely but I have realized its a tool I can't live without. I am scheduled for April 28th. I am a little nervous but I have faith that all will go well.

I am happy for you that you are a candidate for rebanding. My band was revised and Doc said if it slips again he can't save it or replace it. The 4 months I was completely unrestricted was he** so I understand how happy you are to be keeping your band.

Best wishes,

Mimi

I'm sorry that it slipped, but I'm glad it's been such a success for you and that you'll be getting a shiny new one :)

      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.
