Recommended Posts

Hey Dani - I'm from Bakersfield...banded on March 31. I'm still having all the first week issues, bu each day gets better..Where dd you have your surgery and which surgeon? What has your experience been like? I'd love to get more Bakersfield folks on here so we can chat and eventually meet...the hospital support groups just don't happen frequently enough to meet my needs!

Hey I;m from Bakersfield too. I was banded on april 15. Everything has been going great, but I would like a couple more fills before getting to the point of eating and living normally with just a few changes thrown in. So how has everyone been doing? what kids of stuff have you been doing around bako? :thumbup:

Hey ladies, I too live in Bakersfield...Are there any support groups exclusively for lap band patients that you know of. Just after I was banded (in 2006) I went to a couple of support groups but everyone had bypass...I was the only lap band there.

Would really help if I could get into a support group…I am really struggling…

Hi Everyone!

I am moving back to CA in a few months but I'm worried about finding a doctor for fills and check ups. Any recommendations? I'm a self pay so cost is a factor but I'm not willing to compromise my safety either. Thanks for your help!

I'm in Bakersfield, and was just banded on 1/4/10. It'd be neat to meet up with some of you to chat about life after the band! Feel free to private message me!

I was recently banded (10-19-2010) and just learning to use this site. I've attended the once monthly support group at Mercy Southwest. Have you found any others?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
