Cheshire Medical Center Banders out there?



Recommended Posts

I went to the last meeting but hadn't been banded yet. I won't go this week because I have an all day appt there on Wednesday for another issue and then see Hima on Thursday.

I'm feeling pretty good. Probably overdid it today. I went to the Sox game.

I tried my first puree today. But it was pretty basic -- my husband is a gourmet cook and made his amazing potato Soup. So I blended 3 oz with a half oz of horseradish cheese.

OMG, it was amazing. I am ready for something that doesn't taste like berries (waters, yogurts, juice pops, etc.)

Hi I'm fairly new to the site and have an appointment with Dr. Dupuis on 3/11 .... final step in the process and will get my surgery date then, I'm hoping to have it done by late March or early April!

I was so excited to find this forum. I'd welcome any feedback on the surgery, post op, and my doctor :)

Congrats to all who have been banded I hope everyone is doing well!

HI

I had my surgery by Dr. Dupuis on 5/1/2012, and had my first fill of 3cc on 5/30/2012. I am currently at 6cc and getting another fill on Monday. I am not sure on the actual weight loss since I started the process but I will ask at my next appointment.

It was a smooth process for me and I am loving the fact that I am loosing weight!!! I am fitting into clothes that I havent been able to in years.

Good Luck to anyone who is thinking about getting LapBand and it was the smartest thing I have ever done!!!!!

      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.
