The Lapband Coffee Groups are open to EVERYONE who has had Lapband Surgery or if you’re looking into the lapband process, recently banded, or a long time "Bandster".


This is a great way to find out about the lapband from individuals who have had the surgery and to ask questions or just listen to individuals share their lapband journey experience.


No need to sign up… just show up and if you can’t find the group ask for Tom at the cash register.


If you have any questions before the coffee group please contact:

Let’s all “band” together for a cup of coffee!

well I am glad to see that there is at least one guy that posts, I was begining to believe that WLS was a girl thing. I am having my band on april first (april fools day) I believe that I am not a fool over this choice, I am 67 and raising a 4 year old grt grand son so I need to be able to keep up.

Hi 747heavy

I used to post here a lot (weekly) but I haven't been on the computer as much the past couple of months. I can't sit at my computer for long periods of time anymore... I have a bad hip... I just found out that I getting a new left hip in either May or June... can't wait... then I'll be back to posting more often :)

There are few of on here... men :)

This is GREAT site for support... I've met some wonderful people here from Canada, US and even the UK.

For me support from other bandsters has really helped me in my weight loss journey.

If you have ANY questions please feel free to email or if you would like to chat not he phone I'd be happy to call you... I have free long distance. I chatted on the phone with many bandsters over the years.... and still do.

Tom, Toronto

      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.
