:smile: Hello everyone. I had the lap band done in June of 2002 and lost 207 lbs, but then over the last 2 years, put 70 back on. I went back to by Dr (Dr Jeffrey Holloway, whom I love) and started having Fluid put back in my band, only to have it all taken out again due to a hiatal hernia, which I had fixed Jan 29, 2008 and also had the band moved to make the pouch smaller. I have lost 9 lbs in the last 2 weeks and am looking forward to having fluid put back in my band to help me towards getting back to my goal weight. I have had absolutely no problems with my band and I love it. It has been a great life safer for me (literally)

I hope I can achieve close to your goal. I'm looking to lose about 130 pounds. Do you thing i can do it? I had the surgery 1/18/2008 in UVA in Virginia. I'm real inspired of what you have personally accomplished. I'm focused and determined to meet my goal. I have lost 25 pounds thusfar.

105 pounds to go... Keep me in your prayers and your words of encouragement would be nice.

Take care and stay healthy. Marlon...

Welcome Glenda,

I am also from Nebraska. Where did you have your surgery? I am just now starting my lap band journey. Did find out that my health insurance will not cover a thing. Now what? Have a great day.

      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.
