She was on UK tele the other night (Parkinson) She was telling him about her operation & definately said she's had a band.

She described it to him in quite good detail.

Defo a band then!

:) Ok, now ya'll got me confused! Any way we can email her and get the REAL story on this? I've been hearing it's Lapband for her. I like her also and it's amazing that she's as well grounded as she is since she lives with Ozzy. :cross-eye He'd make me :banana just trying to UNDERSTAND what he's saying! LOL!

There is a procedure called Vertical Bypass Surgery (VBS) where they staple your stomach and then place a band around the top part of the stomach much like our band. She probably did have the band but also had her stomach stapled for this procedure. I do believe it is reversible but not as easily as ours.

Anne Wilson from "HEART" had the band placed.

Al Roker from the "TODAY" show had the bypass

Carnie Wilson from "WILSON PHILLIPS" had the bypass.

Hope this helps clarify things

      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.
