I am doing well so far. I went to the surgeon on Wednesday and it was supposed to be for a fill, but he thinks I am doing well, so no fill for me yet! I will be glad when I get back to work so I can put myself on a schedule. I just started some resistance training today, so hopefully I can keep up with that.

How are you doing with it?

I am doin alright I guess...Still a bit sore arund the port area, but healing up very well. Dr. Adam Goldstein was my surgeon at voorhees. And I recommend him to anyone! Great doctor, he is great at what he does, period! I am in cumberland county new jersey do I am not far at all from exit 1...lol Matter of fact I migh head that way this weekend to walk the boards. I was lucky to have lost about 55 lbs by seeing a nutritionist 6 months prior to surgery. Since surgery on monday I think I have lost a couple lbs. Good luck to everyone and stay in touch!

Yes I have been doing well, I have about 9 more lbs to go to be at goal weight but seem to be a a plateau right now but I am not complaining am so happy to have accomplished what I have so far. So it seems that all you guys are newly banded, Wow shakey88 40lbs in 30 days that is awesome. I am lucky to see 1lb come off now in months but hey what can you do. I don't always eat the best but I do exercise pretty good.

Thanks...I am actually surprised myself beings I have no Fluid in my band at all. I think it is just the change in my eating that has gotten me this far without fluid. My next appt isnt for another 3 weeks, so maybe I will get fluid then if I stop losing! Congrats on your weightloss!!! That's awesome!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
