Hi stephanie, I just had a partial hysterectomy 2 weeks ago, and I haven't noticed any changes in my band....

I have been banded 2 years. I had thyroid surgery a month ago and I had to have 4 ccs removed before I had my surgery. The surgeon didn't want any complications. I am ready to get a fill, but holding off until after the holidays. I have gained about 10 lbs., but sure it will come off once I get my fill. You should speak to the surgeon doing your surgery and your lapband surgeon to see what is best for you.

No changes to my band as a result of surgery. The only time I notice changes is once in a while when I fly, the band seems a little tighter for a day or two.

      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.
