Just curious have you ever thought about getting together a conference for all those who post on your site? I know another similar site just had one but I didn't go as I have yet to have my surgery.

We've looked at organizing conferences for our members and it's definitely something we hope to do in the future.

Yup! So far so good. When was the last time you went for an esophagram? I'd check it out to make sure it hasn't slipped. Sounds like you might just need an adjustment.

Ouch! I'm not sure what I'd do if I were I were in your shoes. I have thought about it quite a bit. Not sure if I'd get another Lap-Band if I had issues with it or revise to another procedure. What is your surgeon suggesting?

I'm reading that book now. Great information. I just finished my pre-op testing waiting for everything to get approved. The book is helping me know that I am making a great decision for me.

I meet with him Wednesday... We will see... If he does not agree with revision I will find someone who will... Glad your doing so well.. I was told "you have a failed surgery in you" by my thyroid Dr...

I have been wanting to listen to this book on Audible.. however, the narrators for the book are awful. It sounds like a robot (for both the female and male voice). It would be nice if the author himself would read the book so that it's more personal and less like we're listening to an automated system from T-Mobile for many hours in the car.

I don't sound much better. There's a reason I went with a pro. Sorry they're not to your liking.

      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.
