And Yet Aother Question



Recommended Posts

I promise, when I become fully experienced with all of this lapband stuff, I will be helpful to all the new people, just as all of you are so helpful to me.

Okay, so here it is. My first consultation is Monday (YaHOOOO!!) and I know I should ask questions during the appt., but I have found out so much info. here on this site, I don't know what I should ask? Any suggestions? Hold on, one question just came to me: "Can I have it done tomorrow?"

That was my question at my appointment on a Saturday and he said I could have it on Monday morning at 6:00 am so that is what I did. Only one day in between consult and surgery. But I was self pay.

Hi Liz.

If I was you I would write down every question you can think of even if you feel it has been answered. You can tell the surgeon you have done your research but that the answers weren't from medical staff so you would like to get his input on them.

It's never good to assume that were right on here. If at all possible ask your surgeon.

      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.
