How is everything going so far with your lapband procedure? How do you like Dr. Hamn? :rolleyes: He is my surgeon, and so far I like him and his staff.

A friend of mine at work had Dr Hamm as his surgeon and had good things to say about him and his staff and the followup support.

I just came home on Tuesday from my lapband surgery. I stayed one night at the hospital and I am so glad I did because they monitored everything for me. Now that I am home, the only thing that has been a little tough is the gas pains. My left shoulder really hurts sometimes, and I was told to walk out the pain (gas). My first night home was scary because I was running a 102 temp that was most likely due to chest congestion. This is common. As soon as I started walking around and coughing up stuff (I know this sounds aweful, but it is important for fellow lapband patients), I was better and my temp went down to 99.

I am still on the phase 1 total Clear Liquids until tomorrow, but I don't crave anything else, and my husband is cooking all sorts of goodies in the kitchen. In fact, I feel really full. I know it will probably get tougher when I can start eating more, but for now. no problem!

The most awesome thing is my blood sugar levels! I was diabetic on oral meds and my blood sugar is now 126 compared to 280+. My goal is under 120, but above 80.

I hope this helps everyone. Dr. Hamn and the staff at Plano Presbyterian was wonderful!

      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.
