So Excited, JULY 9th (being Banded), I can't WEIGHT!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Dr. Zapata in Monterrey Mexico, I am so happy, I'm going to start a new life, be a healthy Husband and father. This was a tough descision, been thinking about this for months, I am traveling alone( a little nervous), but I'm a 33 yr. old man, I need to quit whining. All those pre existing conditions that run in my family(obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure,strokes, heart disease), maybe I can beat these, I'm 305lbs. hope to get to 180lbs. and healthy. Everyone on this site has been so supportive and helpful. I say to all you bandsters and future bandsters, good luck and I wish you all the best of health.

Hi Danny, I am doing fantastic. It took me a long time to get good restriction. I am an average loser at 2 lbs per week. I am down 56 lbs with a out 46 to go. Its great being over 1/2 way to goal now. I have the right restriction so I am really losing steadily now. You will find that important.

Val I hope you get to be banded in August, My wife is pregnant and we have a 3yr. old, I'm going to miss them so much, but in a year or two I will be healthy, instead of watching sports on tv, I'll be playing them, take care and good luck, Danny

Hey Danny,

Congrats!! I am also being banded on June 9 in Monterrey also, although I may have to change my date if I don't get my passport. I am also going by myself. I was told to be sure to ask for a wheelchair at both airports on your way back. Good Luck!!

Hey Michelle, I hope you get your passport in time, are you using Dr. Rhumbaut? I heard he is top notch, best of luck, Danny

Hello Danny,

How are you? I did have to change my date to July 17. I didn't allow enough time to get receipt of application for my passport. I am using Dr. Arturo Rodriguez. He proctors and trains many of the US doctors. I did lots of research and both names had lots of great stuff!! Are you using Rumbaut?

No Michelle I'm using Dr. Zapata, He is a Guru they tell me, I have been doing so much research, I just can't wait. Do you know anyone who has been banded? I have 2 close friends, one of them used Rhumbaut, praise everything about him, the other one used somebody in Gainesville Fl, Hipp I think, every thing seems well for him. I used Ready4Achange and Janet helped me out, everything seem to be on schedule. I'm a little scared doing this by myself!! How about you? I wish you the best of luck, stay in touch, Danny

      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.
