Nothing For Lap Band on Ebay



Recommended Posts

Was fooling around on ebay tonight, missed out on a great deal for a part for my car. But since I have lap band on the brain I searched lap band on ebay. Thankfully, nothing was returned in the search. But just for my own morbid comedy I thought I'd post it to the group. What could you hypothetically find on ebay pertaining to the lap band???

1. A Invasive Acme home lap band kit.

Contents: A scalpel, rubber gloves, mirror, a pack of rubber bands, two tylenol.

2. A Non-Invasive Acme home lap band kit.

Contents: Bicycle Pump, Truck Tire Tube, Talcum powder.

Yes, I'm starting to feel better from the surgery.

Let's see...

A book someone has written about lap-band.

A removed lap-band.

Print outs from a fluoroscopy.

T-shirts (a la cafe press).

Ok that's all I can think of, but none of those would surprise me. :)

There are loads of books on Amazon.com I found the other day. I ordered a recipe book for life after weight loss surgery, got it yesterday. Looks like it has some good stuff in it. :)

There have been several actual bands on ebay. Inamed, had the company remove them, but they have relisted several times. They are expired bands, but being sold as sterile, and new in sealed boxes. Scary huh? do a search here there were several threads about it. ~Mandy

I saw a lapband on ebay but it was strictly marked as sample. It wasn't so long ago and it's not listed in the completed items so I'm betting it got pulled too. Very Interesting!

Actually, it would be really handy to have a band to show people who dont know what you are talking about.

When my Dr. showed me the sample in his office I thought I need one of these.

It would save so much time explaning.

Contact Inamed and they will send you the packet. It has a Restaurant Card explaining the band. It also has medical info on it. There is a book about the band, diet and support information. ~Mandy

      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.
