I don't live in TX full time, but we have a place not too far from you Lisa, in a little place called Comanche. We are there several times a year. Hoping to meet up with some of my Texan buddies later this Spring!

Welcome!!!!

Welcome! I'm in Justin (about 30 min North of Fort Worth) and I was self pay too. I went down to MX for my surgery with the late Dr. Sanchez. The band is a great solution for those who are as interested in health as they are in weight loss.

Congratulations on a great decision!

Very nice people here...LOTS of info and support. I have not one minute ever regretted my decision to have lapband surgery! Hands down, one of the very best decisions regarding my health I have ever made.

Good luck to you, and hope to see you often here!

      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.
