Folks I was Almost 400 lbs at my heaviest weight! I would eat like I was going to the chair, then diabetes reared it's ugly face. My general physician 1st recommended I try to eliminate bread, Pasta, etc... now I am a Italian guy, try telling that to a ginny!!! Obviously that never happened.. he suggested I look into bypass surgery.. that was 2003, I will Not lie, it was a extremely difficult to adapt to but it's mind over matter and you need to stick to it don't give up!! If anyone needs more mentoring hit me up

I hate sound so skeptical, but I am calling sock puppet.

This poster just joined today and spammed the same thing in 8 different places on these forums, including an email to contact him at. But, he's put 3 different years as his surgery date- 2003, 2005, and 2006.

Sorry but I'm calling sock puppet b*llshit. Likely with some sort of ulterior motive.

wow good catch

Let me set the record straight.. I was advised by my Dr. at the time to consider the proceedurein 2003, I had the lap band surgery done in 2006, by Dr. Marina Kurian at Lennox Hill Hopsital, on her final day of working there before she transfered to NYU medical center. I am currently now 225 lbs. i was 385lbs at the time of surgery. my waist size was a 44 I now fit in a 34 waist! so again i offer my assistance to those who seek guidance, my email will not lead to a mailbox full of spam!!

      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.
