Hi all! I was banded on 4/16/03 by Dr Ortiz. I have lost 55 pounds so far and am thrilled with it all. I just got my first fill 10 days ago, and I am losing once again.

I am so happy that I made this decision. It hasn't been that hard, at least so far. I do feel that those 55 pounds are gone for good, not like the other times that I have lost weight.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions!!

It's good to see you here! You're doing so well! 55! Wow! You must feel so much better already. I sure do! I've lost 82 so far, and it really seems to make a difference. My knees barely hurt anymore, for which I'm so grateful. Sometimes I get discouraged that I have so far still to go (100 lbs!), but I guess even if I never lost even 1 more this would have still been worth it. Went to disneyland with my family a short time ago and walked all day, went on all the rides, had a great time. That wouldn't have worked 82 lbs. ago!

Keep in touch!

Thanks, Lisa! I bet you are excited! I am so glad that I decided to do this. I have never had such great success on any diet, and believe me, I have been on most of them! Email me if you have any questions or concerns! Good luck to you!

Sheryl

      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.
