Hi. My name is Nik. I finally had a chance to slow down and say hello. I am having the lap band placed on Tuesday Nov. 9. This is a great forum and I have learned so much about the procedure and lifestyle post banding. I am a night nurse and work at South Coast Medical Center in Laguna Beach. That is where I am having my surgery. Dr. Dallahl and Dr. Quebbeman are my surgeons. Thanks to all of you, it seems like one can get never-ending encouragement and support on this site! Talk to you soon!

Nik, Nov. 9 is almost here! Congratulations. I think it's great that you already know not just your doctors but the medical center before you proceed with the band. Let us know how you're doing after the surgery; I'm sure you'll do well.

We are neighboors..Im in Mission Viejo

Quebbeman is a great Dr. He was trained by Dr. Ortiz who is my Dr.

Another woman from this board who lives near us had hers last month with Quebbaman. Well maybe we can get together some time. If you have any questions or need any thing just let me know. Good Luck Tomorrow

      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.
