I have a consult for August 29, 2007. I am sure I am doing this, but would like any suggestions from experienced Banders. Are there any questions I need to ask during my consult?? I feel like I am fairly prepared, but any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Lexanne

Thank you so much. That about sums up all of th questions. Some I never would have thought of. My doctor may get annoyed with all of my questions, but for $16,000.00 I am going to make sure I have covered all of my bases. Again thank you faithmd, that really helped.

If your doctor gets annoyed then he might not be the right doctor. My relationship with my lap-band surgeon has become way more important to my success than I ever imagined so it's important to feel comfortable with whomever you select. Plus, it's your body and you have the right to make an educated decision on whether or not this surgery is right for you so he'll understand. Good luck at your consult!

      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.
