Hi guys I had my band done Oct 4 2006 in portsmouth by Dr. Pacuilli. I love her and the program is great!! Any program that doesn't make you jump through hoops should be questioned. I have lost 81lbs. from 240 (I had been up over 260lbs) to 159 I'm 5'8", and soon to be 46 (June 13). The portsmouth group wants to see you succeed and wants to keep seeing you year after year. The group support meetings are great, informational and supportive. We all support one another! I can't say enough great things about the lap band. I wish you luck and hope to see you at a meeting one day!! Diana:thumbup:

Hi Diana,

I found out last week that I will have Dr. Pacuilli. I'm psyched! Are you going to the support group meeting on the 23rd? Moe

You are in Dover right? Dr. Wagner said that he was expecting about 15 people, so we should be able to locate each other. The seminar was huge!

I am in Hampton. He is expecting 20 people. This will be the largest group session for him. The most applications they received from one seminar. I will make a point to look for you.

I know I am confusing myself:) I went to the first of the five meetings Dr. Wagner puts on for Behavior modification. The support group meeting is on the 23rd, and I'm going to that. Not sure what the meeting on the 9th was. You haven't been banded yet right?

Hi Moe It's OK we are all crazy!! Yep I was banded already. The best thing in the world I have done for myself!!! The 9th(the second monday of every month) is the meetings we have after you have surgery. They are very supportive and you get alot of information!! I highly recommend them. Diana

      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.
