Link To Website For Loads Of Info!



Recommended Posts

I was just reading this surgeon's site and while it contains promo's for his Clinic, the information was spot on about:

When to fill/unfill

Band slippage

What "restriction" is and isn't

etc.

Here's a link to those of you who don't know how to tell if you need a fill.

Fish around his page and you'd be surprised how much you could learn! I did.

Excellent info. I hope others read it too!

I'm hoping the newbies, or even those who don't remember (like me on some issues) will check out his site because he really spells things out so clearly. And I see so much misinformation floating around here on LBT. It could help so many...

I was talking about this with my dietitian this AM. She says, it's a fact that people only retain 30% of info given to them.

This is a great source to go over.

Plus, LBT.com fills in a lot too.

Thanks for sharing!

Wanted to add that it is very beneficial and detailed. I have referred to the site a few times since Oct.

Since my silly brain can only hold so much, I too refer to that website on a fairly regular basis.

      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.
