Brandi, there are no clear rasons form erosion. Some say it is the band being an improper fit. Some say it is certain conditions that exist in the body. The risk is very low - but do your homework. If you are considering a doctor in Mexico, I suggest joining the yahoo group "Mexcian Bandsters" and searching for the doctors of interest to you.

Hello everyone.

My sincere apologies but I'm going to request this thread be locked. I've asked Alex on several occasions to give a solution to the thread posting problems and I don't think it's fair to people to keep this running for now.

If the posting situation can be resolved I'll be happy to re-open the stats.

Best,

      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.
