I just had dh take these to kind of ease the ones who hadn't got one yet the severity of it all. It is fast, and very little pain, so I thought I would try to post a couple.

Thank you for the pictures. I go in for my first fill next week. I too was banded by Dr. Sanchez. How do you know if you have a low profile band? Thank you. Sharon

I wanted and had asked for a low profile port but they don't use them all that much in Mexico and since I never really had a huge stomach I was afraid the reg. would show after a while. I forgot to ask after surgery if I had one or not.

Dr. Curry as soon as he found the port on fluro said well, your lucky, they used the low profile port on you. So I guess I have it.

Isn't it the most uneventful procedure? I thought "this is it?"

By the way, your scars look wonderful. They sure healed up quite nice.

      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.
