Other Maryland Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

Hi

I'm wondering if there are other Maryland bandsters out there these days. I live in Westminster and work in Baltimore (Woodlawn). I was banded on 12/6/07 and I'm doing well. I love reading the posts on this forum; I learn a lot from others and crave the support offered here. I just wanted to know if there were others in my area on the forum.

Hi there and welcome. I live in Southern Maryland and work in DC. Congratulations on getting the band. I love mine (sure, we fight sometimes, but what happy couple doesn't, lol). This site is a wealth of information. The good, the bad and the ugly. Best of luck to you.

Hello Maryland Bandster! My name is Debbie. I am a 43 year old mother of three children and I live in Parkville, MD. I was banded on 9/28/07 by Dr. Singh in Catonsville. I have lost 36lbs so far, that brings me to 230lbs. I still have a long ways to go, and I wish my weight loss would speed up. The last month in particular has been extremely slow. I think I need to call my doctor for another fill. Keep in touch.

do you know of any good lap band doctors in Maryland. I know someone who lives in Texas and she is moving to Maryland and needs a doctor to do her care. She was banded in December 2007

I know, I should probably be on the men's forum, but is there anyone out there on the upper Eastern Shore (Q.A., Kent Counties?)

Banded in early 2004 and relapsed, I really NEED to get back on track!

Thanks!

John

I live in Harford County (Forest Hill) and work in Baltimore County at CCBC-Essex campus.

I had Dr. Averbach at St. Agnes and would recommend him to anyone, I love him!

Hi! I live outside of Hampstead and work in Westminster. I haven't met anyone in Carroll County that has been banded. Would love to chat and share support if you are interested.

:smile:Hi. I live in Edgewood, Harford County, Maryland. I was banded 3/25/08 by Dr. Singh at St. Agnes. Singh, Averbach and Von Rueden are the surgeons at St. Agnes. They are a bariatric Center of Excellence, too.

I currently fluctuate between 149 and 152, and my goal weight is 150, so I guess I am there. Now to stay there!

Hi Patchelton! You have done fantastic!! How did you lose so much in 9 months? Since Dr. Singh is no longer with Averbach, do you travel to Columbia to see him? Congrats again!

Hi there. I live in Reisterstown. Banded 1/3/08 and doing well. I find this site to be more helpful than my doctor's office. There are hardly ever any post op people at the support group! Meri

      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.
