Hey there. I live a little south...near St Louis.

My Sis-inlaw just had the surgery. She's from your area. What surgeon did you use? She went out of state, but is looking for a fill doc.

I can't believe they got rid of the Chief!

Hey there! So glad to see a reply. I was banded by Sid Rohrscheib in Clinton Illinois. His office and staff are great and the other doctor that works with him actually was banded himself. Your sis should check him out.

Hi Nannyjh,

I'm still working on getting mine to work too. This the info that may help you.

How to post a ticker from our sister site TickerFactory.com?

If you wish to use tickers from our sister site TickerFactory.com in your signature or your post follow the following procedure:

* Configure your ticker on TickerFactory.com

* On the last page, copy the text in the box labeled bbCode. For Windows users, select the whole text and press the Ctrl and C keys simultaneously.

* Go to the circles (in your profile - Menu Main/Options or in a post) and paste the bbCode that you copied from the TickerFactory.com site. For Windows users, just press the Ctrl and V keys simultaneously.

* Submit your profile or your post.

Hee Nannyjh,

It looks like you got your ticker thing going. I guess I will see if mine is working when I send you this massage.

By the way I just called Dr. Rohrscheibs office about doing fills.

hi Nannyjh,

Yes I called Dr. Rohrscheibs office about doing fills. You have to pay 500.00

for a signup fee, then 80.00 for every fill after that.I taked to someone at his office today and she was very nice, and helpful.

Oh you think you have made mistakes using this site.....the first time I tried to reply to something.....I started a thread instead of replying. It worked out fine though I was able to meet a few nice people on line.

      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.
