If you don't mind me asking what is rebanding? Is this quite common? I am fairly new to this.

If you don't mind me asking what is rebanding? Is this quite common? I am fairly new to this.

My band slipped so I had to be rebanded because when they went in to just slide the band back into position it wouldn't go, so they had to remove my band and replace it. It does happen, I don't know how often but it does happen because of being over filled, or vomiting, or just because. Mine happened because I had some scar tissue that caused it.

This is wonderful information--thank you all. I haven't been banded yet--still going through all of the pre-approval appointments. Three weeks ago I started going to the gym to do the eliptical machine twice a week--can only go for 30 minutes with no resistance at about 3-3.5 miles per hour. I also try to do 2 30 minute walks during my lunch hour--sometimes 3. Unfortunately, I have a cyst on my foot that is pressing on a nerve--cyst will have to come out, probably in September--that causes a lot of pain. But since I can't do any damage to the foot, I'm trying to keep up my exercising so I can get into better shape for the surgery. I have lost 10 pounds so far and have a second appointment with the nutritionist next week.

I find your stories to be truly inspiring and motivating. I am worried about loose skin because no way will I ever be able to afford surgery (unless I hit Powerball), but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Got a long way to go (5'6", 292 lbs), but with help from people like you, I know I can do it!:o

As you might expect, this refers to how often you will exercise. After any form of exercise is performed your body completes a process of rebuilding and repairing. So, determining the frequency of exercise is important in order to find a balance that provides just enough stress for the body to adapt and also allows enough rest time for healing.

I perform my exercise routine twice / three times a week. I go out for a 45 minute from from Coventry to Bulkington and back, using the Gym on my way. Doing 10 laps around the Ricoh Arena before I begin doing relaxation and muscle training. Then head back home.

      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.
