Good luck to you. Today is my 6 month bandanniversiry...I have lost over 60 pounds and haven't felt so good in many years. I look and feel like a different person. I have 60 more pounds to loose. The band was the best think I ever did for myself and once I made the decision to get it i never looked back. At one time I was thinking gastric bypass....so glad i went for the band. It may be a bit more work but the upsides are the band is better for your body.....good luck to you and keep me posted....susan

I was banded by Dr. Corvala at Hospital Angeles. It was a great experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was very professional and I felt well taken care of. Coming back on Tuesday should be fine as well.

I will send you a private message if you would like to discuss it further. Good luck!!!

Hi there, I'm in Lloydminster alberta! I was banded by Dr. Corvalla in mexico on july 10. It was and/ is a great experience. The hospital is outstanding. You wont be disapointed. Take a house coat and face cloths though, They don't offer those there?? But everything else is exceptional.

I have gone from a size 26 to a size 16 as of today! So i'm real happy.

good luck to you, your gonna love the new you

Hi

I was banded Oct 7/08 by Dr Corvala. Everything was great at the hospital, you'll be home before you know it. I went alone as well, the flight home was brutal, I live in Canada. (Chilliwack, British Columbia) I am still a little sore as I have a 18 month old boy who crawls all over me and needs his mom so I have probably overdone it it a bit. You'll be in good hands in Hospital Angeles, everyone was wonderful there!

      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.
