Hello! I am new to the site. I have been banded for three weeks now!

I have been wanting this for two years and I am so ready to loose the weight!

I am going in for my first fill tomorrow and a little nervous but I have heard it is not too bad. I have just been feeling hungry for about a week & a half now so I am ready to get my fill so I can loose some more!

Congratulations on your surgery. Sounds like you are doing great. I also live in Houston but won't be having surgery until proably Sept/Oct due to work/diet requirements. Good Luck.

Hi there! I'm from Houston as well and I am also 29. I go for my consult today at AIGB/true results. Where did you have your surgery at and do you have any suggestions/advice. I'm nervous and excited all at once. I am hoping my insurance won't be a problem. :biggrin:

I had my surgery at True Results too. Everyone there is absolutely WONDERFUL! They explained everything in detail during my pre-op visit and also while they were prepping me for surgery.

Once they got the I.V. in they let my husband & daughter come back to see me until they were ready to take me back to surgery. I was kinda of nervous too, but they are very encouraging there. :cursing:

The only thing I would change was the ride home. My husband brought his truck and I could feel each & every bump on the way home. If I were to do it again, I would have him take my car for a little smoother ride.

Good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions, I know it helps me to talk to people who have been through it.

      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.
