Lapband scheduled March 27!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

HI to all. I have researched for over a year on this board and others and so many people have helped me through out. I would like thank everyone who have responded and helped me along the way. I am having my surgery in Tiajuana on March 27 by Dr. Ortiz. I have done tons of investigating and have found him to be the most reknowned surgeon around. I can't wait.

If anyone has any suggestions to do before surgery feel free to let me know.

Once again thanks to all!!!!

gLAD YOU HAVE A DATE. I'm sure things will go great. You've picked a great place to have it. Dr. Ortiz runs a first class operation. One thing I will suggest for your trip is to bring along some chicken boullion cubes. There is a restaurant at the Lucerna and the chicken broth is just delicious..........but it costs $6.50 a bowl. Each room has a Mr. coffee where you can heat the Water, so if money is an issue, you might want to bring some boullion.

Hi Queenie! Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! You might want to take a heating pad with you in case you have gas pains in your shoulder. Many bandsters have said it works wonders! Try chewable gas-x too, it worked pretty good for me. Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions.

      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.
