Houston Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

What happened to the Houston group that we created who met up in Memorial? It's like the people disappear after one visit. Would anyone like to meet up in Houston just to kick back and enjoy a nice New York Strip SteaK? :wub::thumbup:

Brian, I'm also getting banded by Dr. St. Laruent on January 6, 2009. How has your experience been since surgery? How much have you lost?

I highly reccomend Dr St Laurent.I had a person from work that reccomended him and he has lost over 100lbs.What I like about Dr St Laurent is that he visits with you on you're return visits.He has you do a test where he sees if you can eat 8 oinces of beef and doues you're adjustmens accordingly.Some of the other doctors just go by a barieum x ray and that isn't enough.I have had 2 fills and I feel like I am where I want to be.I have been trying to have the surgey for over 2 years but ran into problems because I am a heart patient.I have been very selective because of this and felt comfortable with him and had confidence in him with his background.My wife used another big name Dr and I am not happy with him and the follow ups she is receiving.I had my surgery done Sept 29 and have lost 28 lbs and lost 36 lbs since labor day.If you have any questions let me know and I will give you my email or phone number.

Brian

      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.
