No advice really.Its fun! Dr. Ehrlich was at my seminar and he was very fun and gave a great detail description of how the surgery works. I have Anthem bcbs. He even passes around the actual lap band. Its very informative.Good luck!

I am going to a seminar on the 26th in New London, any advice? Also, does anyone here have Tricare?

Hi Amy,

Advice? Sure! Take it all in... ask questions, bring someone with you if you can who can listen with you. Congratulations on taking the first step! Dr. E is really nice, easy to talk to and cares about his patients. He did my band on 6/16/2009 - as a matter of fact I'm going to see him today for a fill. Good Luck!

Thank you StarsZie! I'm excited but a bit nervous. This is something that has been in the back of my mind for a few years now and I finally decided to put myself on the list of important people and just go for it! Good Luck to you!

Nervous is good - means you are really thinking about things. This is a fun place to be too to bounce things off of. BTW... got my fill... i'm a happy camper again! :)

Well ladies, tonight is the seminar. I've been cleared by my primary doctor, my phyciatrist, and I have my nutrition appointment next week. Now I just need to see if I need to get any second opinion appointments on any of the stuff I've already completed. I hope not, I want to move forth with this. I am still excited, but my nerves are doing a number on me. I think my biggest fear is that I'll be left with sagging skin. I know that it is not a top priority for this journey, but I can't get it out of my head. Oh well, I just need to carry on and stop making excuses! I'll post again after the seminar.

How did the seminar go? What doctor was the speaker?

Dr. Ehrlich is a compassionate, wonderful surgeon. I had my lap band in 2008 and have lost a lot of weight. Dr. Ehrlich and his office staff are great. thank you for everything, Dr. Ehrlich.

      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.
