Memphis, TN bandsters ot soon-to be bandster?



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

I had my band done 6 weeks ago by Dr Madan. I have done really well no problems, Lost 20 #s wish it was more:phanvan . I guess it takes time.

I had my first adjustment done last week :embarassed: OUCH, But at least I am not starving in 3 hours.

My problem is that I can pretty much eat anything I want so i am struggling to keep the fat girl inside me from taking control and eating things I shouldn't. Any suggestions anyone?

Jo:help:

Hi Sheila,

I am six weeks out and 26 # lighter, doing better than I ever expected. I adore Dr Madan he is a very caring and skillful Dr, his partner Dr Tachansky is also good. Good luck and hang in there it will happen for you. I do not regret a minute of it.

I'm in Memphis and I'm going to talk with Dr. Weaver. I have heard Dr. Woodman stays pretty booked up, so I don't want to wait a year.

I went to a seminar in jackson tn hosted by Dr. woodman . It was informative. I have an inital consult with Dr. Madan on Feb 9th. Does anyone have any suggestion? What can I expect? Etc ? I was told I would be there from 10-5pm. And I would see nutrtionist/ and psych?:help::help:

I'm scheduled for February 16th with Dr. Madan. I have decided it is not feasible to Go with Dr. Weaver. However, I have heard very good things about Dr. Madan and I' m excited about going. I was told 10-5 as well. Have you received the book yet?

Well, I don't want to wait a year for surgery either. Maybe, if insurance clears me I will check on Dr. Madan. Wonder if that is possible??? It sure takes a long time to get all my ducks in a row. My PCP is taking her sweet time getting my records to Dr. Woodman. We will see.

So I are my primary records enough? Should I ask for my records from my gyn as well? I have irregular mensies.

      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.
