Are you thinking you have one? I seen on here a while back where a lady had a leak and she got to bring her tubing home and her and her husband put red food coloring and Water in the tube and you could see several little puncture holes where it got poked during fills and she had to have her's replaced. It showed how easy it would be for someone not knowing what they're doing and not using fluro how easy it would be to ruin someone's band. I'm sure your like me when your self pay and pay close to 10 grand for your band and then all the money for fills you want to make dang sure whomever is doing your fills knows what they're doing.

And just to address this.... I don't think my doc didn't know what he was doing. I think it was purely and simply an ACCIDENT. My band wasn't ruined, I just had my port and tubing replaced. No biggie in the grand scheme of things.

Just wanted to clarify....

Peace.

      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.
