That is why I chose my surgeon to do my fills,. My surgeon is a lapband patient. He understands head hunger, and everything else, too.

Did he give you any good ideas on how to deal with head hunger? I so struggle with this way to often.

Thanks :)

I really have to think about this answer. He just reminded me that it wasn't real hunger, just head hunger. And that you usually need to try to get your mind off your stomach, maybe doing something, like walking, exercise, or having a glass of Water. He is just mostly a mentor that knows what I and his other patients are going thru. If you are satiated, and in green zone, then you really are not hungry. He insists, that you should not get hunger pains! I think that I do!! B) Karen..aka..kll724

Pittsburgher,

My doctor has offices in/near Jefferson, Sewickley, and Washington hospitals. (Hope Bariatrics) and I've had 4 adjustments and only 1 time has the PA given the fill, the Doctor/Surgeon mostly give the adjustments. As for any questions they answer them but since I've been banded in July, I mostly know most items and I always have come here to check and if need be to cross check.

Remember your are the employer, you pay them for service.

Oh I no. I chose my surgeon because she is the best. She is a very busy woman I can see her anytime, but she doesnt do the fills. Im okay with that now, I was just seeing the wrong PA that refused to fill me correctly. Now that my surgeon switched my PA I can get properly filled. I want to see my surgeon, and go to where I had my surgery for my care. Plus I have UPMC insurance as I work for UPMC and you must see a UPMC physician.

      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.
