Erosion: Our OWN Statistics.



Recommended Posts

I imagine some of those 614 views are people like me who aren't banded yet but trying to keep up with developments and info.

Hope to be banded in the next few months! Going to a seminar this Thursday!

Very welcome. Its actually not hard work :D Excel does the whole thing. I'm too lazy to work hard!

Now I just need about 300 more folks to post and this will start really showing great data.

And one or two Lopez 'non erosions' would be great. Right now the poor guy is 3/3 on erosions!

Scariest MicroFact so far.

Two people banded on the same day, one by Ortiz, one by Lopez, both eroded WITHIN 10 days of each other. I think it was 605 days installed vs. 608 days installed.

Thanks to all that have posted, and any who haven't - come on! join in and lets not make the numbers so bloody scary!

      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.
