That is wonderful that you have such a great relationship with your surgeon as it should be. Can you already tell the difference from when you had the lapland to the RNY?

The feeling of the pressure you receive from the Lapband is gone. The RNY is more of a feeling of being full, not that stuck feeling. It is difficult to explain.

Hello all. I had my band removed and bypass done 12/31/13. I'm in brownwood Texas but had surgery in ft worth. I'm now 49 lbs down in just over a month. My email is bokay@ hotmail. Com and I'm also on fitness pal as bokay2014. Look forward to meeting new people who have also had WLS.

<p>Hi! I had my surgery November 18th in Dallas at Doctors Hospital..</p>

welcome sherry. I had mine at doctors hospital as well. Dr barker did my surgery. I am 1.5 years post op. I loved dr barker, but hated doctors hospital. I am fairly certain I got a nurse fired that evening because of how horrible she was to me.

Hi music1618! Im currently fulfilling my insurance requirements and im also working with dr. Barker..so far so good but i have about a month left. Where in town will they let you try Protein Shakes?

It is a place called max muscle. They partner with dr barker. The closet one to their office is in Plano. Just take what you will be mixing with the shake. I took lactose free milk with me.

I had surgery with Dr. Primomo on 3-26-14. He was great! Houston Herman Memorial City Hospital was awesome as well!

      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.
