Seriously curious

Uh, I'm new. I heard that the band is white. And if you eat only white food it kinda bounces off the band and you don't gain no weight or nothing. My surgeryone told me this. He said that it also meant I din't have to worry bout no more babies. Cause I'se white and my babies is white and the band is white. Right??? Please answer soon. My doc's got that look in his eye...

Do your research! Make sure you talk to as many people as you can and take their word as the absolute truth! Don't listen to your surgeon, he could care less about you! He is probably going to get you preggers! Watch out!

Oooh, I was hoping no one would catch on to that. Searching eBay too!

You can't buy a replacement for Fluffy - that's illegal unless you're HH - cause he's King of all things - especially my world.

I'm new too. Can someone tell me if my insurace will pay for the band? How can I find out?

Wait a few months. Obama will pay for it. Unless you're old. Or ugly. Then you're useless to society.

So these bands are adjustable? Hmmm, so I can "do" any size dude or donkey. Cool. Do you like get a special tool and go thru your belly button to adjust to size? I'm new and this is just the bestest site. I learned lots of new stuff. I just knew my surgeon was an idiot. Heck, he doesn't have a band. What does he know?

Beth just gave you some great advice! I hope you are young and somewhat attractive so that you can get the band!:confused:

I don't think I'll tell anyone I'm having surgery. Do you think any one will notice if I lose like 70 pounds?

Depends on how fat you start out.

I tell people I have tapeworm. Stops the questions short, and they don't bother me anymore.

      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.
