we sit by the front door for a few minutes. If you are runing late, just tell the hostess you are with some people. Usually they say we are "with the band" LOL I will probably be there about 5-10 minutes early. looking forward to meeting you.

So good to meet Nora and Julie. Thanks for answering all my questions and I'm sorry if I asked too many? I did forget one though. I have this recurring pain in my left clavicle? I've read on other forums of others having this pain? Why?

It was nice meeting you too. No, you most surely did not ask too many questions. I know we were both happy to answer any you had. The pain is generally from being "blown up" with gas (so they have more room to work). Walking usually helps the residual gas dissipate... right Nora?

Hi all, it was fun to see you at Red Robin tonight. Would love to post a picture, but can't figure out how. When you select the Image icon, it asks for a URL. Can anybody tell me how to do this?

Thanks!

Dan, Julie is right - this is just from the gas they use to inflate your abdomen during surgery. The pain refracts to other places. It will go away in a day or so. Try a heating pad if it bothers you a lot. Looking forward to seeing you on the 21st.

Nora,

When you click on edit my profile you next need to check the “Browse” button. You then need to go to find your pictures folder on your computer and choose a picture you like. Sometimes it’s best to go to your picture folder and look for the one picture you want and write down the name or number of that picture. It depends on how you view your pictures after you click “Browse”. Double click the picture you like and then upload.

Don’t click the import URL. That’s only if you want to select a picture from the web. For instance, you could find a URL for Cameron Diaz and use that as your image. But you want to use an image from your computer so you must “Browse” images on your computer.

Dan

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum and excited to be here. I have a date scheduled with Dr. John Weaver for December 22, 2011 for a Lap Band.

I wanted to see if there are any Dr. Weaver patients over here on Dr. Kirshenbaums thread?

A thread has been started by Natalie at

Considering Dr. John Weaver In Colorado

Please let me know how you have done with Dr. Weavers surgery and care.

Glad to be here and moving forward!!

Hi everybody,

Wanted to share this great article about eating with the band - wish I had read this a long time ago:

Great article. He really paints a picture for the patient. I'm looking forward to my first fill. Till then it seems like I can still eat about whatever I want including salads and red meats. Fortunately I'm eating low carb, low fat and with the band I'm eating about 30% less. Still losing weight but it's slowing down now. I'll enjoy this through the Holidays and look forward to a skinny new year.

      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.
