I'm just up the 57 from you. I was banded last August and will be 56 next month. I've already lost 60% of my excess wait. It's been a great journey. Wish you the best of luck

Hi, I am also kind of a neighbor, I live in Sherman Oaks. I was banded last week, 4/20/11 at Chapman Medical Center. It was far for me but it is the only place my insurance would cover. Dr. Milton Owens was my doctor. I feel pretty good except for the fact I am really hungry and tired of sweet things. Hope you do well. The surgery wasn't as bad as I thought, but these few days are. I admit I feel better every day!! Good Luck!!:P

I am on the pre-op diet and it is a struggle. Funny before this I didn't eat but 1 full meal a day and Dunkin Donuts coffee and bagel for Breakfast or lunch LOVE my Carbs!!!! Now that I have to eat one meal a day I want MORE lol. Are you going home the same day? My Doctor requires you to stay in the hospital overnight so I will be without my lap top, I'm a home cruise agent so I can't afford to go on a shared network with the rest of the hospital, I need to protect my clients info. I will let everyone know how I made out when I get home on the 5th. Good luck on your surgery as well and you also keep us posted. :)

      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.
