Hello from Berlin, PA. I've had my band since the day after Christmas. My surgeon was Dr. Kim Marley. He used to teach this procedure at John Hopkins in D.C. then he moved to Pennsylvania after retiring from the Army. My daughter and I did this together. It was our Christmas present to ourselves! I've lost about 50 lbs. and have had 1 fill. I'm to go this week for another fill as I've hit a plateau and have stopped losing. Also my daughter is going to Italy in May. Does anyone know of any Lapband doctors in Italy incase something happens over there with her?

Thanks

Rose

Mdbanded4life. Congratulations on your weight loss success so far! Wow. 50 lbs!! Was it hard adjusting to band life? i'll be banded on Apr. 28th. I think you should put your question about any Italian doctors under a different heading like "Looking for Italian doctors"?? Just a thought. Good luck.

      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.
