Any one banded living on Whidbey Island



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 3-24 by Dr. Ortiz in TJ Mexico. I had my first fill on Saturday. I was just wondering if there is anyone else close by banded. Maybe we could get together for coffee, and talk about our journey with the band.

Hi, I live in Oak Harbor and was banded 10/19/07 and love my band! I would enjoy getting together with you but it will have to be in a few weeks. I have to have surgery on Monday 30 Jun and will be out of commission for a while. Let's keep in touch. I know there are several of us on Whidbey.

When you are able to get out and about that would be great. I just knew there where other people here on island that where banded. I would like to be able to talk to someone who could understand what I am going through. Man you have lost a lot of weight. Mine is coming off very slowly. Well all for now and hope you are feeling better soon. Thanks

I just moved to Coupeville, from Pittsburgh PA. I had the bad placed in 2006 and am having some slight difficulties. I however would love to get together with either of you also.

I would love to meet with you and welcome to Whidbey Island, one of the prettiest spots in Washington. Just let me know when you are available. I am pretty much free after 3:30 in the afternoons and on most Saturdays. Thanks

      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.
