Band date in 8 days



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

I am knew to this site. I will be having lapband done October 25/07. Has anyone here had theirs done by Dr Yau at the Prince Arthur Medical Centre in Toronto?

I am very excited to have this done. I am wanting to lose 84 lbs. How soon after surgery did you notice the wait coming off ? How much did you lose in the first couple of months? I have heard the heavier you are the more you lose. Is there anyone who wants to lose the same as me? My BMI is 33.

I have found this site to be very very helpful. Thank-you everyone for posting your before and after emotional and physical feelings. I am a pretty good healer and really want to get this weight off that I have hung onto for so many years.

Keep up the great work everyone. I can't wait to watch my ticker move.

18 Again soon:clap2:

Hey, so exciting. :rolleyes:

This site is a great resource and hope you find everything you are looking for. Like me, you were a lower bmi starting out. My weightloss has been slow, didn't start until 10 weeks after surgery (with a fill and restriction).

I have lost about 15 pounds and all this after my 2nd fill. I have about 30 to go.

Good luck!

Thanks Grace

I had my surgery and I am feeling great. I have lost 9 lbs since I started my pre-op diet. I seem to be losing 1lb a day since I was banded but I am afraid if I don't walk lots during the honeymoon period I may not lose anything. Old failures staying on my mind I guess.

Grace do you know how I go about getting my Dr's information and band date underneath or above my ticket? I can't get it to work.

Good Luck in your Journey

Please keep posting

18 Again

      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.
