I'm super excited! My surgery is this Fri April 19. I have to pick up a prescription for phenergan tomorrow and pack my bag for the surgery center. I know that lap band isn't a miracle for weight loss, but after years of battling an extra 50-80lb excess, it feels like one. Honestly the turning point for me was my lumbar discectomy and fusion. My neurosurgeon advised me to be on the low side of my healthy weight. I haven't seen that in 27 years!

Good luck I am 2 months out and loving my results. First week after surgery for me was rough, but it pays off in the end.

I'm not looking forward to anymore Protein Shakes but my Dr is pretty strict about the first two weeks of diet after banding with plication. So far I'm down 8lbs. Congratulations on your successful banding.

Lellow, wouldn't it be great if they had something like fix a flat for the band?

Seriously, I am so sorry this is happening to you. Please let us know if we can offer some moral support.

I wish! Though recently I had a CT scan and they replaced the saline in my band with contrast and I had restriction for a good two days. I was almost hopeful that it has plugged the leak up! But nope, it's gone again now.

Never mind, just 12 days to my band replacement now. Welcome too to all the new bandsters!!

Hi, everyone. I'm so anxious to be in all of your shoes!! I have the seminar next Tuesday and then I have to go through the whole rigamarole of getting this passed through my insurance. I'm praying that this will be a relatively short process.

Good luck to you! May I ask why you're having a replacement band? I had to be on preop diet for two weeks which wasn't too bad! My surgery is tomorrow I am getting very nervous but still a little excited! It seems like the days flew by for this day... a month ago I couldn't wait and seemed like forever now it's tomorrow lol! Again good luck to you!! :)

I know about the "seems like forever"...I don't have a date yet, just that it will be sometime in May. I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear back from the doctor that they have all of my documents and can schedule me. Waiting is sooo hard, but I'm hoping that the month ahead flies by quickly...like every other month this year! Good luck!!!

      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.
