Any Northern Ky. Banders.....



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I`m the old kid on this new block and having my surgery 4/09/08. Dr. Thomas Sonnastine is my Dr. and I will be having my surgery at St Luke Hospital in florence, Ky. I plan on going to the monthly group meetings there and hope to meet someone thats in the same boat with me there. Dr. Tom said it`s great to go to these meetings to talk with others about your past month and to maybe find a buddy to help each other down the road with problems that might come up time to time. So if there is anyone out there that goes to the meetings please email me so I can look for you next month.

Like they always say....you can never have enough friends:iagree:

I am from Northern Kentucky but haven't been banded yet. I am currently in the process of completing a 6 month supervised diet that is required by my insurance company, I also will be going thru Dr. Sonnanstine when I do have the surgery.

Hi Blue I know you feel like that day will never come but time will fly by before you know it. We got a great Dr. and his staff is awesome. Keep in touch and maybe we will meet up at one of the meetings soon. You can go to the support group meetings before surgery, just call to find out when at the drs. office. Take care and keep in touch...

i have gone to a couple i missed march meeting too busy with life. i am 51 from Louisville. Got banded 11/19/07. i am doing great i have lost 40 or 45 lbs i am not obsess with losing because i am glad to have more energy. i lost so well i have only had two fills and i ask for the second on because i notice i was eating more. i lost real well because i was scared to eat at first and after my stomach healed i gradually starting eating normally. i have even eaten steak. i dont eat much bread i often take some off of a sandwich. i am not really a snacker i just ate too much when i did eat

I live in Independence. I was banded in Mexico, but I see Dr Curry in Cincy for fills. Maybe we could scare up enough people to meet for dinner once a month or something.

      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.
