Watched my Emmi Doc sent.



Recommended Posts

I was sent a information video called a Emmi it was fabulous. It really clarified many questions I had and felt a little unsure to ask. I have my first date with the surgeon on Jan 11 and found out through email I apparently have Dr. Schuster of St. Mary's Hospital in Louisville Ky. I met him during the seminar he is wonderful and will be easy to work with I am sure. I am so excited I hope they will be able to do my surgery in Jan.. so I can get my routine down and well on my way to a healthier slimmer me before spring. :clap2::clap2::clap2:

I wonder what percentage of people with lap bands watch the Emmi programs?

I really do not know what percent watch the emmi . I would think anyone who was thinking of undergoing this sort of thing would read/watch any information sent to them especially if sent from their doctor. I found the Emmi very informative, I am very glad it was sent to me and I was allowed to share it with a few of my friends and my brother who are also thinking of doing the surgery.

Hello Donna,

I am from Southern Indiana near the Seymour area. An Emmi is a program sent to you by the surgeon that walks you through the entire process via computer. It is really neat you can go on line and watch something similar here

My doc used the My Emmi program, too, and it was awesome. IMO, it should be required for ALL patients to watch/participate in prior to banding. SO informative, and I love the fact that I could pause during the presentation and type in a question that was submitted to my doc so I didn't have to try to remember all my questions. When I went for my consult, he had the printout of all my questions, and went right down the list and answered every one, no matter how simple or silly the question might have seemed.

:thumbup: just wanted to say...yes I was banded by Dr Keith McEwen. You are making a great choice. Dr McEwen and his staff really like to help you use your tools to be successful. LAP-BAND® Surgery in Indiana - Bariatric Surgery - Morbid Obesity Surgery - Keith McEwen M.D. or Indiana Obesity Center - LAP-BAND® System Surgery is a good way to learn more. I paid for my surgery and it was the best choice and best thing I ever have DONE FOR MYSELF!

Best Wishes!

      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.
