The Moultrie center is wonderful. Debbie and her 2 grown children run the center and they are very personable. My doc recommended 1cc but she felt like 1.5cc would be better. She was right! If only the drive were not so long from Jax.

Deb, Crooms did my surgery and his office does my fills. Not sure if he limits fills to those he did the surgery on....

Thanks, I called their office and they said no :) I had a different surgery a few years ago by Dr. Crooms though. I am going for my first fill (back to Denver) on Oct. 7.

Hey guys. I was just telling someone today that I don't know a single person in Tallahassee who is banded. I am glad that someone started this thread. I have been banded for a little over a year and have done pretty well with it. Although I have not lost anything in the last couple of months. I believe this is due to stress and lack of band restriction. I am trying now to refocus my energy on eating right and jump starting my weight loss. BTW there is a bariatric weight loss support group meeting in November if anyone is interested.

Hi Sarah,

I would be interested in that group. Where is it? Do you know if there are lap-band patients as well as other forms of bariatric surgery patients? Were you banded here in Tallahassee? If not, I am wondering where you get your fills? I agree there don't seem to be many of us here :)

Deb

      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.
