In my 6 months of medically supervised weight loss, I managed to lose 6 lbs. But somehow, in the 3 weeks since my 6 month appointment I've managed to lose 7 lbs. I haven't actively been doing anything different, but apparently, being able to focus 100% on just getting healthy is a way more successful approach than focusing on trying to lose (or even just not gain) weight! I still have work to do in getting myself going in the exercise department, but I'm feeling really good about my relationship with food these days!

Anybody on here doing surgery in Mexico? I am using the same place a coworker used 2 years ago. She also had other family members do it after her. Anybody have experience or heard of dr. verboonen? Kinda skeptical, but my insurance doesn't cover it and my PCP signed off on it. Surgery date schedule for 9/14/15. Just trying to get healthy for my son and husband.

Hi there-I just called my lapband doc to discuss getting the sleeve. Would be very interested to hear how your process has been since you are/will be previously banded.

I lost 30 lbs since I was banded in 2014. I never had restriction and really hope I am approved by insurance.

Mine is Sept. 7th and it seems so far away, I can't wait to get this band out and get the ball rolling again

This is so exciting that everyone is getting their dates! I still have to wait until Aug 19th for my final NUT appt. Then they will submit to insurance. Hope I will know my date in a month or so.

So happy for all of you! We are finally getting close!

      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.
