That's awesome! I am in the same boat as you. I didn't see my doc for a year, due to the same reasons...school, young child, hectic life, etc. I have started again and am excited. Ready to progress on the path I've chosen and use my band to its fullest! Best of luck to you as you start over!!!!

I am making these now. Cannot wait to try them. I used fat free cheddar cheese (same amount), a 3 ounce can of chicken, 1 egg, celery seeds (I don't like celery), and onion powder. Mine are going to be less than 60 calories each (probably because of the fat free cheese and less chicken ratio) and 8 grams of Protein. Cannot wait to try variations...adding some sage to make it taste like chicken and dressing...some rotel to make it taste like Mexican chicken...broccoli (like someone mentioned)...the possibilities are endless. THANK YOU!!!!!! This will help soooooo much. I appreciate your creativity and sharing.

Rebecca, Your story has touched my heart. Please know I am thinking of and praying for you. I hope your trip went well and you are doing well. Amanda

I was banded on 1-14-11 and have lost 65 pounds.

That's amazing! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on your May surgery! I am glad you have found Dr. Wellborn and his staff to be as wonderful as I have. There is a great deal of comfort in knowing the nurses and staff have been through everything you are going through. I have been so pleased with them and their care. good luck on your continued success!

I used Dr. Wellborn and have been so pleased. Two of my friends used him before me and recommended him. My cousin is trying to get approved through his insurance and, when approved, will use Dr. Baker (because Dr. Wellborn doesn't take his insurance. I have heard good things about Dr. Baker. I chose Dr. Wellborn because of recommendations, insurance, & because I LOVE the fact that everyone on his staff (with the exception of him and his wife) has been banded and they know what you are feeling from first hand knowledge. Isn't it great that there are 2 well respected (& I'm sure more, but this thread only has mentioned two so far) bariatric surgeons in Little Rock with extensive lap band experience?! We are fortunate. Good luck on your decision. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

Standard. And...I agree with Cindy about the shots.

Yeah! I'm so glad for you. I hope everything continues to work out. Thanks for the update. I was wondering...

Thanks for the update. I'll be waiting to see what they say. I hope the liquid diet works.

How are you? Please keep us posted on how your pouch is doing after being on liquids.

I am so glad you are better and it wasn't serious. Take care of yourself and thanks for the update!

What ever happened with the gum? Did you call your doctor? Did it pass?

The chicken tortilla recipe sounds yummy!!! I may actually make that tonight for supper. Thanks! I might also add fat free refried beans as a side to up the protein. Great idea!!!
