Recommended Posts

I'm south of Rochester, but I'm signed up for a seminiar there in June as it's my closest hospital that does the surgery.

Do you have a doctor yet?

Hi there! I am going through the pre-banding process right now :) I am so nervous/excited. Are you trying to decide whether to get banded or are you in the process that I am?

I was banded Apr 8th w/Dr DiBeneditto at RGH. Stay away from Highland if you want to live. RGH stay was great and I've lost 20 pounds since surgery.

I've done very well at Highland Hospital, Rochester, NY. They have been great. I've lost 82 pounds. Good luck.

Hi,

I am also from rochester!! My surgery is scheduled for May 27th with Dr. Dibenedetto at RGH. I have been going through this process for 3 years(research incl.) I initially started with another surgeon but decided not to go through with it due to lack of customer/patient service. My surgeon, in my opinion, is the best!!! Not only is he knowledgeable about lap band, his team is AWESOME!!!!! I've never been worried about the actual surgery, it's what kind of follow up from the surgeon that scared me. But, I believe with dr. d's team, i will be well taken care of. Good luck to you on your Quest.

      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.
