Mid-Michigan LapBandsters

Hi everyone,

I am in the Lansing area as well. I am also going with Dr's Lane & Richardson. I have finished 4 of the 6 week classes that they require. Once that is done I can meet with the Dr's. Can anyone give me an estimate on how much longer it will take to get the procedure? Is there a long wait to have the surgery after you see the Dr's?

Thanks,

Once I got the 6wk of classes and ALL of the required tests/items were in their hands - I had my pre-op visit with the surgeon and got my pre-op diet shakes.

I could have scheduled the surgery 14 days out (because of the 14 day pre-op diet) - but due to work project and a planned vacation - my surgery date was scheduled for much later -

I have felt a bit of a disconnect due to the time from my completion of classes and my surgery - I thought I might get a call from the someone on staff when sometime during this 14-day diet -- but I haven't yet and my surgery is next Tuesday.

Thanks for asking!! things are going very well. I have had my 2nd fill and am now at 3.5 cc's. I can finally feel a little restriction but it is not that bad. I just have a tight feeling in the mornings and not hungry at all when I wake up. very strange because I was always hungry in the mornings before the 2nd fill.

How is everyone else doing? I go for my 3rd fill on the 22nd of Sept.

Good Job on the weight loss!!

I am 30lbs down -- and have had 2 fills (2cc's each) - and still have NO RESTRICTION....ugh!!!

I have my 3rd fill appt next week and HOPE that the fill will help me feel some restriction....

Keep in touch!

I live in Coldwater. I'm a new bandster, it will be one week tomorrow. I have done well, but had a bad day yesterday with nausea, think I may have drank my shake too fast. Feeling good today. I'm taking things really slow. I'm concerned about getting enough Protein. Can't tolerate the sweetness of the drinks. I am assuming that eventually I will be able to eat the same foods I use to eat, but in smaller portions. Any suggestions?
