Hello everyone. I've been posting on the site for a while now and I can't believe I just found this section. I was banded by Dr. Bagnato as well on 9-20-07. Things are going great for me and I love, love, love my band. Nice to meet ya'll and take care.

Hello all,

I am from Dahlonega, I am still waiting for a surgery date. I have had the psychological evaluation and for the strangest reason, my score was invalid! I have to take the thing over! I'm scheduled to do that Oct. 1st and my sleep study on Oct. 4th. Maybe it won't take too long to get the surgery after that. Insurance is paying 100%! I've had foot surgery this year and all my deductibles and out of pockets have been met.

Good luck to all ya'll!!:wacko:

Surgery date approved!!! December 4th at the Lanier Park Campus of Northeast Georgia Medical Center.:whoo:

Hi Para Girl, I am from Tifton. I too was banded by dr B on Oct 4th. I have been asking for a support group also. Malik says they are putting one together for us. It's nice to have support thru this journey. I had my first fill on Nov 13th. 3ccs in my 10cc band. I was nervous at first, but the procedure it self was a easy. Although I do not have the restriction I was looking for. Can't wait for my next fill Dec 3rd. I look forward to getting to know you and the rest of the Oct bandits. Good luck and God Bless!

Hey ya'll, My name is Michelle and I live in Stone Mountain. I have been on this site for sometime now but have mainly hovered in the main forums. I just found this thread because I was tracking down MysticstarD (Dalia) so I thought I would pipe up and shout out to all my GA sistas and bros!

Now, to MysticstarD, an explaination as to why I was tracking you down. I was reading another thread and noticed your avitar (the baby pic) and realized it is a reborn. So I looked at your profile and found you were a fellow Georgian. Very cool!! I just recently found out about reborns thru ebay ( which I absolutely love) and thought " I can do that!" It would be a great hobby for me since I need an outlet. Anyways, easier said than done!! I have a toddler and cannot devote the time and concentration that these babies need to become beauties! Anyways, down the line I hope to pick it up and was wondering if I could come to you with problems, tips, and advice? If not that is okay! I can understand if you'd want to keep your secrets safe! Especially since these babies are so pricey! But, it would be nice to have a fellow reborner to talk to!

Thanks so much Dalia!!! It is awsome knowing that one of my fellow bandster and Georgians does reborns!! I checked out your web pages and your little ones are adorable!!! And let me also note that you are beautiful yourself!! As I said previously it will be sometime before I can actually do my own project I tried but my little one wouldn't let me concentrate and wanted to play with the babies and paints! LOL. Plus I didn't want to scare her taking the babies apart to work on them. I am so excited to do them though! I just can't wait! I am a perfectionist so I know I won't be able to devote enough time to them right now but as soon as I get my little one in a "mothers morning out" program I will at least be able to have a couple of hours to my "reborn baby."

I grew up not very far from you. I lived in Norman Park for 19 years, then moved to Moultrie once I got married. It would be wonderful if Dr. B's office could get a support group started. Nice to meet you and good luck.

      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.
