I'm super excited to be on this journey. I had my birthday party saturday....i was most exited to find a beautiful dress that fit right off the rack. I was more exited abt how well my dress fit than having a party I haven't been this size 4 years

I'm very happy for you! I am new to this site because I have been thinking about getting lap band done. I am 5'6 and 242lbs and 36 yrs old and been heavy most of my life. I am so very ready for a change.

If you dont mind, I would like to ask you if you would do it again? What was the most frightening situation you went through?

I am just thinking of doing it. My insurance will not cover. I have Kaiser. I am very very interested but self pay means I will have to finance it. I believe it is worth it but I want to hear more results.

Thank you for your time,

Liz

is the best decision i have made for my self. I would do it again in a second.I didn't or haven't experienced anything really frightening I was really nervous before the band bcz i didn't know what to expect.....ALL thought i am only 2 months post op.....you just need to research the surgeon ask questions look him up and make sure he hasn't had complications with his other patients....

Hi Liz, I just sent you a response to your message, and I hope you got it. I just wanted to add that I have Kaiser Insurance too, and they will actually cover Lap Band, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Gastric Bypass; however, they are not recommending Lap Bands for the barriatric patients anymore due to so many problems which have occurred. I just had revision surgery and had my lap band removed and a vertical sleeve put in. Dr. Billy was my surgeon for both, and he is so wonderful!

      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.
