I registered a few minutes ago, but have been browsing this site for several months now. I had my lap band surgery in November 2007 and have lost 63 lbs. as of my last weigh-in and fill. I had the procedure performed in Albany, GA and Dr. Bagnato performed the procedure. Suppose that makes me another "Bagnato Bandit" :w00t:. Anyway, I just wanted to say "hey" to my fellow bandsters.

Well, Hello from Arkansas. I also just registered to use the site. I was banded (that just sounds wierd) on June 19th 2008. I have lost 25 pounds. I had my 3rd fill on October 8th, and boy let me tell you, that was the one that did it for me...I have hit my sweet spot.

So anyway, we will see how it goes from here. Everything has been going great.

Good luck to you

Lucy

Hey Georgia Girl!

How close are you to your goal? Are you still continuing to loose? I have lost over 50 lbs since April but the process is slowing down. How is it going the last few months?

I'm new to the site as well! Just wanted to stop in & say hello to all. I haven't had my surgery just yet, but will have my date at the end of the day on Nov 11th, 08. Any encouraging words, words of support or words of wisdom?

      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.
