Hi Kellie,

I just got my band last Friday from Dr. Ramos Kelly in Mexico. I was very happy with the treatment in Mexico. I am already back to work and still recovering but feeling good. I just got onto this site today and just love all the information and support. I am hoping to loose 75 pounds. Good luck with your band and it is really an easy procedure with minimal discomfort after. I am on only liquids right now for the first couple of weeks and have my first fill appt for Jan 6th. Any questions please ask.

Good luck with your band.

Hi Kellie,

I'm waiting on my insurance approval and I am hoping to be banded in January too. We can be banding partners! I sure hope I get approved. The waiting is killing me.

I know I found out I was approved on Nov. the 20th and I am having my surgery on Dec. 18th

I have been waiting for approval since July but it was my fault because I wasn't finshed with my diet until Oct. but good luck keep in touch and let me know if you get approved Khristina:nervous

      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.
