Hi,

I'm from Berlin. Dr. Marley put my band in a year and a half ago the day after Christmas. He's fabulous! I go on June 10th for my year & 1/2 appt. I haven't had a fill since last July. I've lost 90 lbs. Do you go to the lean team meetings?

I went in the fall and spring of last year but not during the winter. I don't like to drive in snow at night. Then I had foot surgery in April and can't drive yet. It's my driving foot. Sooo...I won't be going to any meetings until I get the okay to drive. They are helpful. The last one I went to they got in a plastic surgeon from Greensburg and he talked about the different procedures you can get after weight loss. I won't be getting them because insurance doesn't cover them. I also haven't got any rashes yet to photograph to prove to insurance about skin breakdown. I guess I'll be jiggly unless I win the lottery. LOL

I am from Portage (close to Johnstown) hope you are all doing well. I was banded by Dr. Marley June 11, 2012. Appointment on Monday to be allowed to go to full band diet (I hope anyway).

I hope you are doing well after getting your band this week. My biggest problem was the gas pain in my shoulders and neck--I got some relief with warm moist heat, alternating at times with ice. Take is easy!

      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.
