Adri2 0 Posted February 27, 2008 Hi everybody! I'm about to send my papers for the financing of my band. I have a lower BMI, (37) with no health issues (so far). My mother has diabetes and I'm afraid I'm going that way since I'm 43 now. I've lost about 50 pounds twice, with diet pills, only to regain it all. I'm to a point where it just doesn't seem to be an answer. So, here is my question: is lap band the answer? How do you all feel about having the band? Any regrets? Do you feel as satisfied as the diet pills will give you the feeling in the first days of it? Please, send me some answers! Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonny3jack 0 Posted February 27, 2008 Hi, AC... I was banded yesterday the 26th as well. Some discomfort & pain but tolerable. I have been lurking on the forums for the past couple weeks. A great resource. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lekesia 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Hey I was banded on Tuesday too. I live in Georgia. Not really in pain just a little discomfort. I am looking forward to my journey. I need information on how to get my Protein in. I am on Clear Liquids for 3 weeks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harley man 0 Posted February 29, 2008 I bought Protein whey which is a powder you mix in with milk or Water. 1 scoop has 20 grams of protein. It comes in different flavors. You can get it at Wal Mart in the pharmacy area. It's in big plastic containers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aggie 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Hi Lekesia, great to hear from you, keep moving it does get better. My dietitian gave me a diet plan for the first 2 weeks with a Protein drink called sustagen and a multi-Vitamin called supradyn that you buy from local chemist and supermakets. I am now on day 8 and feeling really great. Hear from you soon. aggie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aggie 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Hi, Jonny3jack, Hope you are doing well I find if you keep moving small walks a couple of times a day helps with the gas pains. Aggie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
