Lapband Doc Made A Home Visit!



Recommended Posts

We'll sorta anyways. This morning I was actually working out on the tread mill, and was jamming on my mp3 when my son told me there was someone at the door. So I go to the door, and there's a we'll dressed man, and his son. I was toweling off, and he apologized for interupting my work out. I said that was ok, I was just trying to drop some weight. He told me he that was great and he told me the two things he see's as a doctor that effects healt the worst is smoking, and obeasity. So I asked what kind of doctor he was. He replied, "A gastroenterologist, that speacializes in weight loss surgery". I laughed and told him I was planning on getting the lap band. We talked for awhile, and he was suprised on how much I knoew about the procedure, and I told him about this site. He said that he's really in favor of the lapband procedure, and wished me luck. After about 15 minutest of talking about the lap band I came to realize he wasn't there to talk to me about the lap band, he was there to witness the word of God. He was actually a Jehova Witness.

This is great! My digestive disease doctor also was a driving force behind my lapband surgery also. It is so much positive results that all the medical field is taking note..now if we could get all the insurance companies to do the same look how many more people would be able to improve their health and lifestyle!! I'm glad he came to see you..now..who was withness to whom?? :)

      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.
