He wants me to wait 6 weeks, eeeeeek... I didn't know I would feel this much better this quick. I have an appt on the 30th I think and if they didn't cancel it, im going in and if they did, I am calling after next week, this is insane, At least you have an excuse Rain, and even then u only gained 20lbs since december, I gained this in a week:scared2::scared2::scared2: help, I need a fill......

My fill appt is the 21 of april!!!!!

Vicki

Really Val, your too tight, dont u just have 2 cc's? wow, I hope I can get 2 cc's and be good. He says every fill and unfill is different, you can be loose with 5 cc one time and tight with 3 the next and now that my band has been moved it may be totally different this time around, I just hope I dont have all the problems I had last time....whats going on with u val, do u work, is that what is going on? :unsure: hope all gets better...

Wow Val, you sound urgent! when did all this happen, was it sudden? Maybe your just irritated, do fluids go down ok? I wouldn't wait till tues. if your symptoms get worse or you feel it is unbearable, thats what i did and even though your band is ok, don't put yourself thru it. I will check your post later, doing a craft show till 3 pm.. call my cell if u need to 507-3636...hang in there.:) How's your dad doing?

hello ladies...sorry I haven't posted in awhile... It's been very frustrating to say the least.

I had my appt with Dr. Pham and was sooo happy and relieved with the way the office worked and the staff. I was in and out in an hour and everyone was beyond accommodating. A huge difference from the way I was treated at buff gen. Anyhow, I had to have a gallbladder u/s to rule out stones and will have my surgery the end of April. I wish I had gone this route from the start.

I am still dealing and processing what happened to me with dr. posner. I still can't believe no phone calls returned, even after several were left with his secretary.

Anyhow...hope to be on my way!

      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.
