Congrats. I was banded on February 13th by Dr. Posner. It's such a thorough program and gives you real assurance that you're doing the right thing. I'm three weeks out and doing great. Best wishes to you and stay in touch. Maybe we'll meet up at the clinic!!

i have been trying to do the lap band since jun '07 and its been a long road.. I went to sent Dr carunna 1st but he felt the lap band would be best for me since I didnt have a sweet tooth. I have had issues with the gen gastric health dept at buffalo general handlimg everything, but I am sure the wait was worth it..(they are really sweet women in the administration ) I see the doctor mid april . I have done research on both lap band and gastric and I feel lap band is for me.. I hope to have the surgey by end of april we will see?? praying soon. As far as the doctors -- many friends have had dr carunna who is a wonderful doctor -- very sincere and his office staff is awesome-- extremely !! lap band is only done with the posner,forbes and hoffman with kalieda health-- -- I hear excellent reports about forbes and hoffman -- so i am going with the banding and pray this tool will help me lose the weight that the thyroid condition wants to keep adding on me..

      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.
