Anyone in Cincinnati



Recommended Posts

Despite the fact that I was banded last Dec 9th I will be getting my first fill this coming Wednesday morning with DrC in Cincinnati.

I am sticking around Cincinnati until Friday morning just to try and make sure I don't have any problems with the fill.

I am interested in meeting up with other bandsters or bandsters to be in the area either for Wednesday afternoon or anytime on Thursday since I have so much open free time. Not that I can't do things alone but I would prefer some company and to make new friend/s.

thanks

Wow, you made it almost a year without a fill. I've just been banded barely 3 months and Dr. C has already give me 3 fills and I'm almost ready for number 4. I have the 4cc low profile band and right now I have 2.65 in it. I think I want him to take it to 3 very soon. I sure wish I was going to be there Wednesday and we could shop. I sure do love Dr. C. Tell him Sherri from Kentucky said hello and I'm about ready for another fill. Good luck with your fill.

Thanks Sherri. It would have been good to meet you. I should have gotten a fill sooner. I was doing great until the end of June but haven't lost anything since then and can certainly eat anything right now.

I have the smallest sized band and I think I am just really sensitive to it because I felt great restriction with it for the longest time. Guess I must have lost some fat pads around my stomach with my 70 pound weight loss thus far.

I will mention to DrC to expect you in again soon. :rolleyes:

      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.
