Lori, How close is that to Rochester, Syracuse NY area? Do you know? Is your fill doctor familiar with the AMI band? The doctor that I had set up for fills doesn't fill the AMI band.

Thanks, Barb

undefined I was banded on 9/24/04 and the doc is going to ask me on Nov. 8th if I think I need a fill. How did you know??? How will I know???

I am transitioing to the regular foods slowly right now. I eat till I think it's enough. Afraid of vomiting so I stop when I think it's enough. Haven't really been hungry but I do feel like I could eat more. Just afraid to overdo.

Any tips? :D

Nancy, from the amount of weight you've lost so quickly - NO fill needed yet. You need to be eating regular foods for a while before you get a fill. I waited 2 months. Some go sooner, others longer. Hagertheresa has never had a fill and has lost over 65 lbs.

Hey Guys my girlfriend is in town here from PA, we are going to TJ tomorrow for her 2nd fill but I wanted to ask you if any of you knew of any Dr's in the PA area who will do fills on Mexican patients. She has seen Dr. Bonnanni in Redding but was wondering if there were any others. She is having a difficult time finding any other Dr's who do the lap band, most of the Dr's she has found only do the bypass. If you know of any please let me know

As for filling Mexican bands I would look at Jefferson and Penn. Just a thought...they are two teaching hospitals and you may just get lucky.

      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.
