The only "Fat Pad" that I am familiar with is with what occurs when you have a trauma to an area and they cannot tell if it is fractured because the xray is blurred. They call this a fat pad on the xray. Probably not what your looking for, but the only fat pad that I know of....

I believe what they are talking about is the fat pad that is around your stomach. Some doctor's are removing the fat pad before they place the band in order to help prevent slippage. Some people think that people have slippage because after they lose a significant amount of weight the fat pad lessens and causes the band to slip.

The last time fat pads were spoken about on this site was the one on the pubic bone.You know the one which we never think about but once spoken about it's "oh yer that one"The one that does go away with weight loss and you get deeper########I won't go any further.HAHah

      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?
