Inamed survey?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone else received a survey from Inamed through their e-mail? It was a survey on new pre & post-op surgery kits to purchase. Also kits for post-fills & plateaus. They wanted to know what you thought of having these kits for purchase.

Just wondering. TTYL! :)

I haven't received anything, but maybe I haven't been banded long enough. Either that, or my spam filter caught it and deleted it.

I got the survey... I'm not sure how I feel about paying for the pre-op packet or the immediate post-op packet. Some of the items mentioned were vitamins... Protein shakes... soy supplements (shakes and snacks) informational booklets... dietary suggestions... list of "when to call your surgeon"... pedometer... diet/exercise journal... cookbook... food ideas for the liquid stages...etc.

I too got that survey. I thought some of the things mentioned were good (esp. the plataue stuff since I seem to have moved into a huge plataue) but as far as paying for them, I gave no price. I felt like some of that should just be offered automatically.

Wow, I haven't received anything about a survey, but based only on what I've read in this thread, I don't think they should charge for that stuff... A band is $3000 by itself, it wouldn't kill them to throw $50 to $100 worth of stuff in with it....

      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.
