Got my Allergen Lapband Pedometer Radio today as well as my ID card. Lol. Did anyone else get these from them? It was in my Lapband packet from my surgeon. I just filled in out and sent it in last week. I still want a Fitbit though, taking donations! Lol.

Had my surgery today- started at 2:45, was in the car on my way home by 5. I'm not in a lot of pain but I was a little surprised by having 5 incisions. I really thought it was only going to be 3. I hope these heal ok. Ugh

I'm pretty worried right about now. My last check up appointment with my Hematologist was today. Good news is that my Pulmonary Embolism is gone and I can get off my medicine in 2 weeks. I left after getting a copy of my CT Scan. Then, I was looking at my results it in the car today and read that they "saw my gastric band and there was a 4.4x2.7 mass adjacent to the band - possible polypoid lesion" Uhhhhh, what? My Hematologist is also an Oncologist, she should of brought this up! So it's Friday and I'm pissed that I can't do anything until Monday. I called my surgeon and he said since they aren't really trained to look at lapbands on scans they could be wrong and to send him the video of the scan next week. But, at the same time, they know what they're looking at cyst/polyp wise - I was at a freaking cancer center! So now I've Google'd polypoid lesion of the stomach and all I had to read was possibly malignant to worry me. =(

      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.
