Hi, I was banded by Dr. Cerabona on 6/3/08. I want to tell you that you are going to the best. Please feel free to PM me . I would be more than willing to help you in any way. I have lost 73lbs as of today and have 10 more to reach my goal! My daughter (17)was also banded by Dr. C on 7/6/08. She is down about 30 lbs since surgery. I love my band and I love Westchester Medical Center and the Practice that gave me a new life!

hey, i was banded 5/21, by dr. kaul. They are amazing. everyone there is great and Dr. Kaul is the best. He is one of the nicest doctors and he is so smart when it comes to this stuff he knows whats hes talking about and he also did something amazing for me that i dont know if its even been done b4. He only made 1 insicion rather then like 3 or 4 which is normal. and it was in my belly botton. when i went for my 2 week appointment all the surgeons were in there looking at it like omg thats remarkable. they even took a bunch of pictures for bragging lol. just cause it was done and looks great. No one will even know i had surgery! and thats not all they have support groups their and great nutritionists. i would highle recommend going there. GOOD LUCK!

      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.
