Connie just called and SHE'S DONE!!!!

Crystalstar11 is FINALLY BANDED!!!! The one who started the MD LapBand Support Group and has watched each one of the existing members get banded. Her best friend lost the battle of obesity after having GBS which made Crystalstar look into other options and she found lap band surgery. After fighting with her insurance company and then changing companies she finally has the tool that she has been waiting for over a year.

Patience is her middle name and she has been rewarded for her patience. GOOOOOOOO Crystalstar11 :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Hello all,

I'm so happy to have the band now. The pain is not so bad. I had a harder time with my c-section then with this. I'm home now laying in my bed with lots of pillows. I'm taking Tylenol 3 for the little pain I do have. My shoulder hurts more then my tummy. I will return to work tomorrow night on light duties. I want to thank you all for supporting me . Talk will you all soon K

      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.
