HI! I live in Mt. Vernon and am looking for a support group in the area - Mt. Vernon, Marion, Carbondale, etc. I will have surgery on 10-26 in St. Louis, but would like a support group closer to home. Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks.

I just found this thread - I live just north of Marion. I had my surgery Jan 4, 2010. There must be more Southern Illinoisians out there somewhere! :biggrin:

I am from Southern Il and I am hoping to meet others in my area that are getting or have the band. I would love to talk to anyone as well. I am 3 months into my diet with the Dr. and have had all my tests done. I am hoping and praying all goes smoothly with the process.

I am also from Mt. Vernon and had lapband in July. There is a support group through Crossroads hosp. I am not sure when it meets, but you can call the hosp. or call 1-(866)622-9222. This is the Dr. that does Lapband in Mt. Vernon and they can give you the info.:thumbup:

      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.
