I wonder if anyone, like me, was banded in Mexico and had a hard time finding a place to get a fill in San Antonio for a reasonable fee...

I am in San Antonio and have just completed 4 of 6 weightloss visits. I will be using Dr. JJ Gonzales and hope surgery will be in May or June of 2010. That is the plan anyway.

I'm so sorry I didn't find this group of banders before I visited San Antonio April 1-9! I loved your city, and actually lost a pound despite not sticking strictly to a diet (besides Protein and liquids). I was there for the women's final four, and found it so easy to walk everywhere (wish my town in Upstate NY didn't have so many hills!). Loved all the Mexican food, great choices.

Hello to all, I havent posted on here in awhile been busy with my husband's deployment. However Im still looking fwd to my lapband procedure I'm aiming for the third wk of June once he return. I felt kind of bummed because I could've had it done in March but had no one who would be able to help me afterwards. But it it will be done soon.. And I think it would be good to have a meeting in the san antonio area so we could be with fellow bandsters in the area.

If anyone is interested in setting up a meet and greet for fellow bandsters in our area email me and we can put our heads together and support each other through this life change email: kbanewme2010@gmail.com

      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.
