what kind of bands used in mexico



Recommended Posts

Well doc you know the Swedish Band IS the Realize Band - Poor surgical technique is related to slippage and prolapse - NOT erosion. If your so sure there have been complications with the inamed band please site a study showing compliciations where Pars-Flaccida technique was used. I don't think you'll find one.

If the Swedish band is so good - why is your website called Lap-bandinfo.com? Why not change it to realizeband info.com if you don't like the inamed- why are using there name to get hits to your site?- sorry doc that seems a little shady.

Uh yeah... The Swedish Band is now called the Realize band. - Poor surgical technique can lead to many problems, which would include Slippage & Prolapse which THEN could lead to erosion if not taken care of.

I am very sure that there have been complications with the Inamed band. You have totally missed the boat here. I'm not PRO any band. I'm against your harsh criticism of the band that I personally have and have been successful with. You assume that all of us that went to Mexico are fools and that the Swedish band is crap. Bottom line is, you don't have the Swedish (J&J band or the Inamed band) so you are giving an opinion based on what you have read or heard. I'm giving you FACT on what has actually happened to me.

I could care less if anyone gets the Inamed or the Swedish, Realize J&J band. I'm not advertising for one particular band like you are. The band has totally changed my life for the better and I'm thrilled when I see it changing so many other's lives as well (regardless of the type of band they have)

The studies are out there on all the bands. I'm sure you've read them, they're not hard to find.

Good luck to you

      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.
