I had Dr Weiss with Dr Oldham as back up they are both great doctors and the facility is fantastic. Wonderful bunch of people. I had lap band a month ago and I would do it again in a minute. When you get through the classes that are manditory you will be swamped with knoledge. I was so impressed with their thoroughness.

Hi,

I was banded October 24th 2008 and this is the easiest surgery I have had by far. I knew everything to expect before hand. I am so proud I have lost 20 pounds now and 3 sizes in pants now. Everyone there was so wonderful to me and If anyone out there is thinking of having lapband surgery I say go for it!!!

I am about to have surgery with this group through Central Baptist in Lexington. So far, everyone has been very helpful and they have been very thorough in their education and making sure that you are ready to do the surgery. I will be with them tomorrow for the last pre-op visit and will have my surgery date then. :smile: I'm excited.

      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.
