I had my lapband removed Sept. 2011, and had the gastric bypass done. I wish I had done the gastric bypass first.

Yes, we'd be interested to know why you had your band removed.

I am glad you are happy with your revision!

I had my lap band removed because it did not work for me. I stayed hungry and throw up all the time. We I would lose a little weight, it would come right back. I could not eat in the morning, however by the afternoon I could eat a regular size meal.

Thanks for the follow-up info. I am very sorry the band did not work for you. I wish you great success with your bypass!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
