Google. I think it would be a good idea to have pamphlets about LBT located at weight loss centers (for example True Results). I've learned more on LBT than I did at TR.

I agree with this......I tell people I meet in the drs office about it...and have printed out fliers and brought them to my monthly support groups....This site has been a life saver.....Oh my how would I ever had made it through my first PBs.....lol

I Googled Lap Band Discussion Forums and this one popped up among a few others. I sifted through a handful, this one suited me best so I lurked a bit, then registered. :)

I also used google to find blogs and forums of people talking about their experiences. I have been wanted to do this surgey for myself for 2 years but without insurance it has not happened yet. I hope these chats and blogs with guide me in the right direction and give me the support and answers I need.

I went to several seminars before I was convinced it was right for me. It took me 3 years to start the lapband journey.

      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.
