Hello to all upstate central NY here :lol: I was banded in Cooperstown in November of 2007. Unfortunately the band has not been successful for me. I have not given up totally, I have just excepted that it doesn't work for me. I would like to talk to others that have had problems and would love any suggestions possible. I would truly like to lose weight. I have been to the Dr religiously every six weeks since I was banded. I am having some kind of scope done next week to make sure everything is OK in there. I have 7.25 cc in a 10 cc band, and still can pretty much eat what ever I want to. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

I am sorry the lap band did not work out for you. I am originally from Syracuse,New York and we now live in Kingman, Arizona.

I had surgery on 12/20/08 and am down 54 pounds. I seem to be stuck here for a couple of weeks but this happened a month ago and then started to go down again after a few weeks.

I don't know what else to say but I too could eat more if i forced it, but I get to a point of getting the hiccups when full and have to stop eating.

I have not had one single fill but seem to have very good restriction for some reason.

I was born and raised in utica, NY and lived for 30 yrs in Syracuse NY before my husband and i moving to Arizona. When I left 5 yrs ago, they only surgery around Syracuse was for bariatric surgery and I was told at that time that I would have to go to NYC to have the band, so I did not do it at that time. I got my band in Las Vegas, Dr. Atkinson and love it, now I am almost to goal 80 pd and 10 more to go.

      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.
