A few questions



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I've been researching the lapband for over a year. :help:

The money is a big deterent because I will be self-pay.

I would like to *talk* to someone that's had the band for at least two years. If they are in the DFW, Texas area that would be wonderful.

I'm also worried about the surgeon I may pick and would like some feed back from those that have had surgery in Ft. Worth.

I've read these boards and have gotten many of the questions answered but of course like others I'm afraid of failing AGAIN. I've been overweight since I was 9 years old. I keep trying to loose weight but after a while I fail..seems I'm HUNGRY. Now most of the doctors say that I can't feel hungry and it's just something else but folks I'm here to tell you that I'm HUNGRY. The only time I feel full is after a big meal...but my *fullness* doesn't last that long. That's why I thought this might be the tool for me.

I live in a very small town about 65 from a city and 100 miles from a city that has a lapband surgeon.

You can email me and I will call you so there won't be any charges.

Thank you for your help.

I just wanted to welcome you as I can be of no help with the 2 years or DFW area thing as I was banded in Monterrey Mexico and was self pay as well. I have been banded a little over 3 months but I just wanted to tell you that it can be a life changing wonderful event. I just wished I'd had mine done couple years ago when I first heard about it. Good luck and welcome.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
