Hi all, Just wanted to know if anyone has been banded at the Epworth by Dr Frydenberg or Dr Lim? I'm getting banded on June 27. :hungry: very hungry and cranky right now though!!!

Hi There, Can't help you there because I was banded at The Avenue Hospital. I haven't heard much about the Epworth banding program to be honest. Apparently they do Gastric Bypass surgery there too.

Good luck with it.

I was done at The Avenue too but the Epworth's site was the first online resource I found, I've heard good things about their bariatric centre.

Thanks you guys, Jacqui WOW you are there!! How has it been, harder or better than anticipated? How long? What happens to the wanting to eat all the time, is that easier because you are not so hungry? Thanks Marga

      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.
