SINGLE INCISION LAP BAND/Dr. Ganta



Recommended Posts

I am excited so I thought I would share this with all those out there. mY doc Sashi Ganta in Austin Texas has come up with new ways to do the Lap Band I wanted to let everyone know out there who is thinking of getting it done. I am having this technique because it will be better for less scarring as well as recovery time is better, I hope u find this helpful if u have any questions u can call his office.

Follow the link I am setting up to read all about him and his new technique he just pioneered.He is a great doc as well as a smart one.

There is alot of info on this web site about him so read about him and see what u think about??

hey doing good this morning just got back to the gym been doing about and hour to and hour and half workout for the last three weeks. i get hungry alot i only had one fill since i had surgery and i dont think im even at 5 cc yet but i am going in for another fill on monday which should curb my appetite alot. plus doing exericise is really helping with the hungry pains since im busy doing something else most of the day. only thing i can really give you in advice is excerise excerise and excerise build up those muscles so that the fat burns faster and easier. i got the body bugg as well which helps me with my intake in foods and also shows me how many calories i burn throughout the day and one thing i noticed is that its not all about the excerise hardcore but to stay active throughout the day and you will see the results alot quicker and better. have a good day time for me to get cleaned up so i can start my day

      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.
