Recommended Posts

Hi,

My name is Kristy and I live in Moultrie GA and work in Thomasville. I got my band April 21, 2008 :thumbup: in Albany GA by Dr. Bagnato. I have had two fills and I'm going this afternoon to get my second unfill. We're having trouble finding the sweet spot. Has anyone else had problems with their fills?confused.gif

Hi folks! I'm in Thomasville, or T'ville for short.

I was banded on May 29, 2008 in Juarez, Mexico. The procedure was not as expensive as local physicians.

I have had no fills. Here is my progress to date:

:tt2:

I really haven't had any problems. I eat just about what I want, albeit in very small portions.

I do start each day with 5-600 crunches, 30 or 45 minute bike ride, and weightlifting every other day. When I started I wore a size 56 suit. I had some old size 42 pants in the closet and now THEY are about 4 inches too big. I'll try to wait until I am closer to my goal before purchasing any clothes.

Good luck to all!

Hi, I'm from Valdosta, GA. I had my lap-band surgery done at Emory in Atlanta, GA. I was told they may have a support group at one of the hospitals here. I'm going to look in the paper.

      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.
