Livingston County???



Recommended Posts

Anyone in the Livingston County area? Or know of any support groups around? I'm in Gregory. So I'm sure none in my area specifically, but I'm not against travelling a little! Just not an hour and a half once a month to Detroit ~shudders~. Once every 6 weeks for fills is enough tyvm!

Hi there- it looks like you are doing great! I am in the Brighton area. I was just banded 02/27 at Harper also. I had Dr. Webber. I just started researching support groups in the area this evening. I will let you know if I find any.

How was your experience with Dr. Laker?

He's a really nice doctor. Really happy with my progress. Said my surgery was nice and boring. I've only had one issue with the office itself, but everything since then has been great. I'm very happy I got this done and glad I had the opportunity come up.

How are things going with you? And your experience with Dr. Webber?

I hope you find something. I'm part of a few online groups but it'd be nice to have something face to face. I tried looking up for support groups in the area and didn't come across anything.

Overall the experience was fine. I feel like the Dr. should have been on rollerskates or something for as rushed as he was.

Weight loss is going ok. Slower than I hoped, but good. I am 10 days out and really ready to eat some normal food. It is hard to keep having creamy Soups.

I would love to know of any good online support groups.

      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.
