Hi there....

I am new to this website, it's great!! I have started researching WLS since February 2008. I finally have my first "intake" appointment in a couple weeks to start my journey towards the Lapband.

Hey Razzy! Hey Becky!

It's me...the other LL Cool J Fan! Shout to Becky!

I thought you already had your surgery Becky. I had my surgery 8/4/08. So I'm a newbie. I've lost 12lbs since my surgery. I'm in the healing stage incisions have healed completely. i will have my first fill on 9/12/08. Can't wait because now I'm getting hungry but a half cup of food does fill me up. I don't have the craving to eat late at night anymore. If i drink to much Water too fast that fills me up as well. I hope i answer some questions but If you have an specific question please ask:wink_smile:

hey Melolo, no I still havent had my surgery my insurance first said I had to wait 6 months well they changed their requirements which was great but I still had to finish up my pre surgery stuff and as of yesterday that is completed now I will see Dr. Fass my surgeon on next thursday to set up a surgery day however I have a girl going on vacaton the end of september and one that wants the first friday of the month in october off so that will be a set back on my surgery scheduling. I am an office manager so it is difficult from time to time. I will have it in october though. I am ready a little nervouse but I am ready. Hey one question I heard that sometimes the doc give medications after surgery that are for gall bladder did ur doc give u any meds to take after surgery??

Hey,

No. My doctor didn't give me any medicine for my gall bladder, but I have read on other postings where people talk about having problems with their gall bladder or having to have gall bladder surgery. The only medicine my doctor prescribed was something that had me knock out like that!

Yes. Girl I'm digging his new cut I'm going to let LL get my "Head Sprung".:smile2:

Hi - I just found this sight and am really excited I did. I am having my lapband surgery on Aug 26 at the Richmond CA Kaiser. I started the process on May 9. I have lost 27 lbs since then. I just purchased my post surgery Clear liquids groceries and am starting to get a little nervous. My dad is going to drive me there on Tuesday morning and I will be going home that afternoon.

Hi there.

Thanks for your reply!

I had to attend 2 meetings in May and I have been waiting for my first appointment since then! So, I have not started anything yet. I hope to have my surgery within 6 months of my appointment on 09/10.

Good Luck to you with your upcoming surgery!

      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.
