I am here...It was really easy....Have I said how much I love my doctor. I was so nervous why I don't know but he came and talked to me and just calmed me right down. I am more sore now then I was earlier but I haven't taken any pain med so I am taking some tonight to knock my butt out.

Thanks for your kind thoughts....I just love you guys.

Kim, did he do the port fix in the office? Would you mind sharing more about the procedure and stuff? Pweese?

Sure I will share....My port had flipped. (Which can happen w/ the band and I knew this going into the band.) He does in the hospital but it's same day surgery. So I was there @ 5:30 this morning and home @ noon. I have one little incision on my belly that is actually smaller then my first port incision. Go figure. :hat: At any rate that was it...no biggie he said my port was good so all he did was stich it back down. He found it under fluro when I went to get a fill, so that is why he went ahead and did a little fill.

Hope this is what you were looking for....you can ask me anything you want at any time.

Thanks Kim, that's exactly what I was looking for. I'd heard the port repair wasn't really a biggie and I was just confirming that.

I'm so glad everything's ok with you now. Hopefully you'll start losing again and get back on track. :hat:

Hey Kim I am so happy to hear you are doing fine and that port is back where it needs to be. Hang in there the soreness will soon be gone.

Love,

Angie

      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.
