Hello Stacy,

Dr. Bertha is amazing. Let me tell you through him you WILL get approved. He did my mom & step dads bypass and my cousins band like mine. I am in Pa and traveled to Jersey to have him do mine. My port did get infected and had to come out and a new one put in. But even through that he was amazing and straight forward. He is kind and tells it like it is. He was up front with me that I should have the bypass because of how much i had to lose but when I said I wanted the band he said ok and told me that it was my choice and would help me with my journey. You will be very happy and well taken care of. Keep me updated and good luck to you,

Rae

Rae-

Fix the date of your surgery in the box to the left,

YOU DID WELL

I have the lapband.

What impressed me the most is that you did not give up with the infected port. I honestly, being a NON quitter would have fainted and god knows what?

:):thumbup:Very Inspirational :biggrin::thumbup:

:o Great! What an inspiring story for those who are planning to undergo Lap-Band Surgery and yet still have doubts on going with it. Anyway, it's a matter of discipline and hard work after that and once you achieve the goal, it's worth it. congrats!

      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.
