Hi Guy's

I am from Virginia but Now live in New Jersey. I was banded on March 5th 2008...I am doing okay, lost almost 30 pounds.

My question is ,Do you know of a good Dr in the Newport News area? I am trying to get my mother to go....Thank you.

No, i haven't just been on liquids this whole time. My schedule went like this:

Pre-op

2 weeks Liquids (low carb)

Post-op

2 weeks Liquids (w/o carb restriction)

2 weeks Mushies

2 weeks Solids

I lost just under 20 lbs before my first fill and almost all of that was lost during the liquids phase. I lost a little more during mushies and then just maintained during the solids phase.

Since my fill 2 days ago i am on 48 hrs liquids, then 48 hrs mushies, then solids food (very carefully). I go back for my second fill (if needed) in 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure i'm feeling some restriction, but it's kinda hard to tell during liquids.

Thanks for the information you just gave me. It sounds like you are doing really well. 20 lbs is great. I can hardly wait to get the band. Keep me posted on how you are doing.

Hi Mariduke, I am going through the Norfolk Surgical Group but have heard good things about the group at Newport News that is called Dr. Terracina-WLSC of Hampton Roads, VA . Hope this helps you
