Well I was banded on 11/24/08 and I think it was the best decision I ever made. I am now 1 week post-op and down 18 pounds!! I feel great and I even look much better my dr in NJ is Dr.Borao I would recommend him to anyone hes the greatest and talk about a dr thats always by yourside... <33

Well im only 18 and i weighed 194 pre op and technically shouldnt have been banded but I was addicted to food and wouldve never lost it on my own so therefore it probably saved my life cause at 18 with sky high cholesterol and tryglicerides I was headed for despair so I really think lap band in the long run saved my life.. Well its 3:20am here in NJ so I better get some sleep because i have to be up at 8:30am to walk so ttyl :thumbup:dont be strangers. xO:thumbup:

Wow, Kyley. Thats' fantastic weight loss after only a week! I'm new to this site, hope to get approval for lap band in the next few days. I've pestered my doctor for over a month now to get me approved, and he's hemmed and hawed, asking 2x what I've done in the past to lose weight, then asked me again, like I hadn't already told him!

Hoping I'll have better luck in the future, or I'm changing ins!

Best of luck to you with continued weight loss and great health! Katie:thumbs_up:

      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.
