Any Shropshire/ West Midlands bandsters?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is any one who lives in the Shropshire/West mids area who is going to have or had a lapband fitted?

Looking forward to hearing from you

Kind regards

Hello,

My name is Jenny and I live in the West Midlands - near Merry Hill Centre (great for late night shopping!!)

I had my op in February and after an initial weight loss of 2 stone - my last two fills have not worked and I have put on 1/2 a stone. They think I have a slow leak as I have restriction to start with - then after a couple of weeks it is gone!!

I will probably have to have another op to repair the leak - not looking forward to that!.

I did have a fill on Monday - 3ml in a 4ml band - fantastic restriction - wish it would last though!

I didn't see whether you have had the band yet or not. Good Luck in whatever you do.

Jenny

Hi Jenny,

I have been to the Merry Hill Centre, your right it is a great place to shop!

Sorry to hear that your lapband may of sprung a leak! Lets hope it gets sorted for you soon.

I will be having my lapband fitted on the 24th October in Chimay belgium by Dr Mignon or one of his associates. I'm excited and terrified all at once. I keep having emotional swerves sometimes even contemplating not having the op at all! But, I know it is the right thing for me to do, its just the waiting that is the killer, too much time to think!

I would love to hear about your experineces and how you have dealt with it all.

Kind regards

Suzanne

      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.
