Recommended Posts

Hi everyone just joined and wanted to say hello.

as you can see my name is martyn and i live in Great Yarmouth Norfolk.

i was banded in Jan 2006 by Mr Paul Super at Heartlands Hospital.

up till today i have lost 4st 6 lbs but that i fell was not really due to my band. since my band was fitted my restriction has not been good i now have 8 mils i still can eat normal and to be real honest i think that the aftercare from Mr Super is non existent.

anyway thats all i can say about that thanks

Welcome Martyn! I am at 6cc and go for another fill this afternoon. (In a couple of hours, actually!) No turkey for me this Thanksgiving. Oh well!

I was banded in May 2006 and have lost about 40 pounds.

I live in Virginia, also, in the Shenandoah Vallley.

Hi Martyn and :welcome: to LBT. This is an excellent place for information and support. I'm not sure from your post how much weight you have lost to date and like everyone else, we all wish it could be more! When you say that the aftercare from Mr. Super (what a name!) is non-existant, what are you expecting that you are not getting?

Raise some of your questions here and there will be someone who can offer you some of their wisdom. In addition several medical professionals look at the site and make comments from time to time.

Stay in touch,

Jo Ann

It depends if you expect a basic standerd of care with fills then no under Mr Super you dont get that.

If we expected brass knobs then thats a pretty unrealistic expectation how even the most basic of care under the Heartlands Hospital and Mr Super (super by name NOT super by nature) is not forth coming.

Be prepared to fight fight fight for everything even a fill appointment. I saw the light and walked away from him because i couldnt cope with the battle any more,

      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.
