UCDAVIS Med, Sacramento, Dr. Fuller



Recommended Posts

I would love to get to know the select few that were banded by Dr. Fuller. I believe there may only be around 12 or 13 of us so far. It would be great if we could share experiences and give encouragement.

I was banded on 3/18/08 by Dr. Fuller. I have had a very successful experience with banding so far. I am very grateful to have a doctor that is so professional and whom was completely honest about the pros and cons of Lap Band. Dr. Fuller is a doctor I completely trust! My incessions look fabulous and healing was much faster then I first thought it would be.

Would love to hear your success stories as well.

Hugs,

Paula

Good know people are close by. How are you doing with your new band? When is your first fill if you have made that appointment? I plan on going in on May 7th for my first fill. I was on a plateau but I think I might be through it. Started lossing weight again a few days ago. keeping my fingers crossed that it will continue without delay.

Hugs

Paula

Hi Michelle! I have my group appointment on Thursday at SALSA. Could you give me an idea of what to expect? Also, what happens with Healthnet next? Thanks for any info. How are you doing with the band?

      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.
