Just wondering how many Bandsters & Pre-Bandsters are in Arkansas?



Recommended Posts

Yes!! I go to the same clinic and love both of the doctors there (Dr. Ron Hekier, and Dr. Rachael Keilin). I am hoping that we can get a support group closer to Fort Smith, AR

We are trying to set up a conference call this week with a primary care physician in the Fort Smith, AR area who can do fills on our patients. We would also work on getting a support group set up there. We did recently start a support group in Nashville, AR which is a bit closer to you.

Banded June 25, 2008. Dr. Baker- absolutley wonderful but very strict. So far I have had 5 fills and I am still not at my perfect restriction. I have lost 56 pounds but have dropped 5 sizes. So the inches are really coming off. Still going strong, but ready for that perfect restriction!!

      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.
