Good luck on your lapband road to success.

Actually there's a seminar this Thursday at Lee Memorial Hospital (off of 41) I will be there and if you'd like to you can go there and meet Dr. Shieh. He is wonderful, I also work in the OR at Lee and he's a great surgeon and a person.

I know that he does take lap band patients that have had it done elsewhere, as for the fluro fills, I am not sure. I was just banded on August 11 and actually havent even had a fill yet. Everyone at the office is very nice and can help you. Just tell them that Kathy is a friend and they will get you in. :)

Hi Kathy. My husband and I are finishing our last 2 months of "6 months of required weight loss attempt." Hopefully Dr. Shieh will band us upon approval. So far he and his staff have been fantastic!

Congratulations! I am very excited for you. I work for Lee Memorial Health System, Dr. Shieh is wonderful, I love him so much!

There is a support group meeting at Lee Memorial on 41 downtown. This Wednesday in Room 7124 at 530pm with Carrie Blount, There are usually people in there that are ready to have surgery and people that have already had the Lap band. I will tell you, the support group meetings are aweeesome! They really make a huge difference, if you can make a few of them before your surgery you will be really glad you did.

Well, I am at work and I have to get going. But please feel free to email me at my personal email address at work is kathleen.roderiques@leememorial.org anytime if you have questions about anything.

Hello, I just found this site tonight, and so far it's been extremely helpful and educational. Thank You, to all that post questions, suggestions and good advice. I went to Dr Moses Shieh's seminar on Thurs, & I thought he was great. I've been to a few seminars but I thought he was the best! He offered a lots of detailed info, seemed very patient & knowledgeable..... So far, he's my choice.

      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.
