Hi Kaylene,

And thanks again for your details on Dr.Nottle, he was fantastic.

He checked my band and removed 3 (ml?) so i now have nothing in my band.

He asked me to have a x-ray but i found out a couple of days later i'm pregnant so that's not going to happen.

I'm seeing him again tomorrow as my problem may of been to much in the band? since removal i can eat a large plate of food (and steak!) and drink at the same time.....must say it has been luxury, but i don't want to get to porky.

Not sure if lap bands effect pregnancy or not?

Thanks for asking about me, it's very sweet of you.

Hope you have a lovely week.

Hi Kaylene, I am interested in your post about dr nottle not doing day surgery any more. Which hospital were you booked at for the day surgery? I know he is changing from the western to the alfred but thought he only did days at williamstown. my d i l is on the waiting list for williamstown so will be anxiously waiting to read your reply.

thanks for your reply kaylene. that is sad, when d i l last phoned the office she was told she would definately be done this year, looks like they might have been giving her false hope.

      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.
