I am two weeks Post OP and am doing well. I have lost a total of 40 pounds in since starting my Lap Band Journeyin September. I would like to start working out and am looking for people in the San Diego Area that would like to maybe workout a few days a week. I was banded by Dr. Bhoyrul and was wondering if there were others out there banded by him also.

Hello, I just wanted to say hello and let you know that Dr Bhoyrul is doing my surgery on Monday! I am getting nervous and anxious at the same time. I like Dr Bhoyrul, he is kinda in and out quickly as for as appointments go, but he is the best from what I hear, so I am okay with that.I live in Temecula so exercising with you may not be an option, but I would love to chat and share thoughts...Take care, Connie

p.s. how was the hospital staff and post op pain for you?

Hello,

Dr. Bhoyrul is a great surgeon! He performed gastric bypass on my husband and lap band on myself. He is very quick when it comes to appointments, but he is great about answering phone calls if you have any problems or questions. The Hospital staff was amazing! My favorite nurse was Ofelia.

As far as pain goes, it is somewhat painful for the first 3 to 4 days and then after that it's not bad at all. Are you staying overnight? I was required by my insurance to stay overnight. Make sure you take your pain meds every 4 hours and the pain isn't that bad. You'll be fine! Good Luck! If you want to chat or have any other questions you can email me at amandalynsmith@yahoo.com

      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.
