Congratulations to all of you. I have been a True Results patient since December 2010. I LOVE the staff. Dr. Ken Hollis did my surgery. I like CM77539 had the hernia repair and then the lapband was clamped on. Yeah baby!!!!!!! I love the new changes to the office. Seems like every month I go something is different for the better for our services. I will be seeing them next week for my monthly check up and fill. Definitely ask questions because this is your body and your journey. They will answer you and are very nice and cordial. They want you and the band to work. They are your friends not your enemies. Use them. LOL Good luck all. B)

How did you know you had a hernia?

It was diagnosed by another one of my doctors on ultra sound. I was having upper abdominal problems. It felt as though I couldn't breath anymore. I could hardly eat as well. I was miserable until after my surgery. :D

I'm so glad to hear abt so many successes. I go for my psych eval on sat. I hope I'm not crying up a storm. Lol.... I'm so excited and theoretical I talk and hear feedback the better and more comfortable I feel. I admit that I get overwhelmed sometimes thinking abt never eating rice or potatoes again but it's worth it for me and my family. I don't have any kids yet and I have pcos which makes conceiving difficult so it is imperative that I lose a considerable Amy of weight. This is abt to b the best summer of my life !

Oh I was wondering about that. I guess I would know if I had a hernia, it would hurt!! Lol. I just saw that a lot of patients have that surgery too so I was curious.

Anybody know anything about plication? That's something else that's mentioned on these boards. Curious about that too.

      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.
