Hi Sue! I noticed you posted in Dr. Hung's thread, so I decided to pop in and say hello! I am banded now, and decided to see Dr. McBride for aftercare. She and her staff are great and very convenient, as they are blocks away from my work. I have had my first fill and am scheduled for my next fill in July. It will be nice to feel a good level of restriction.

How are you?

it is NOt common. Is there some reason you believe this may happen? I have not had any problems with the band, 12 + months after surgery. Occasionally, some people can develop problems but these are rare. Come to the WLS group at St E's. Next one is 2/2/10 6:00 PM. We talk about all kinds of things. Most there have a lapband, a few have the gastric bypass, and some caome in anticipation of surgery or to support their family member who has

      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.
