Hi,

I haven't had anything done yet. I'm not meeting with the dr until the 27th of June. How is it going with you? And why did you deside to go the band route.

Thanks

Sunsetime

Hello Sunshine,

I took the Lapband route because it is less invasive. You wont have anything routed and you pretty much stay normal. They are just pinching off a bit of your stomach to help you with eating and feeling full. Plus, you can have it out if you want to later in life. This isnt a permanent thing. That is what appeals to me.

I just got off the phone with my psychologist office and they still have my chart there and they havent even faxed it over yet! That Doctor is dragging his feet. He needs to get his tail moving! lol This is the last piece to my puzzle and I will be able to have it done. I am not going to do it until after my Vegas trip. When I get back from that is when I want to do it. Which will be around the end of June, when you have your first visit. Good Luck to you and keep us posted.

Hi everyone,

Sorry to be absent for so long....Kathy you are right about posting else where but I can barely keep up with my school emails and threads! It is confusing for me to go all over the place. Hopefully I will have some time before summer school starts.

I had my first fill 3 weeks ago; I do not think it is the correct restriction. I am hungry not long after I eat. So on Monday I am calling the Dr. to see about an adjustment. I have lost 2 lbs since the fill but I also spent last week at Walt Disney World...walking about 5 miles a day and eating properly. I was just HUNGRY in the evening! So I am going to see what's up. Hang in there and I will be back to check onevryone. Take Care, Eliza

      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.
