Give it a few days and the new message board will be up and running. Alex is calling it verticalsleevetalk.com.

How cool is that ... do you know when Alex will have it up and running or will there be an official notice? If not, will you please let us all know???

Thanks!

I am sure there will be a link from here over to there. I would think Alex would do that at least in the beginning.

I don't know of any but it's always a possibility. Whenever there is an emergency, a surgeon will convert to an open procedure.

I would not advise another band but if you want to get another one (or another weight loss surgery) they can do it all in one procedure so talk to your surgeon. I'm sorry you are having problems and hope your pain subsides.

      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.
