Hello, I know that some people are getting the band ontop of the gastric surgery. You should really research and see why you gained weight. Do you journal the food you consuke daily and do you count calories. You should also see your Dr. and talk to him. Wish you the best

Yes I would do it again. My Dr prescibed Liquid vicodin for the pain and i only had 2 table spoons. It wasnt even because of the band but because of the hernia i had repaired. Good Luck

Congrats! So how you feeling now

stina, You should look at DR Billy in Ventura county hes really good nd has been doing it for awhile. He also takes anthem blue cross.

Premier shakes from costco are high in protein, have not to many calories. Also Labrada shakes are good Good Luck

Hope everything went well

Congrats on the weight loss you look great, keep it up

What part of LA

Isopure is ok, but you should try Labrada or Premier from costco. They have a better taste.

Hello Everyone! I'm from Ventura County and was banded June 2011

I'm sure by now you had the surgery, How you feeling?

Hot tea is also good

I just read where you said you ate gorditas, I think gorditas are a no no, especially home made ones.

I think it's great! Keep it up and you'll lose more

So how much have you lost? Any complications?

Hi! I was banded a year ago and had a hernia repaired too. In my case my Dr. gave me 4 weeks off, he said he didnt want me lifting heavy objects or wanted my incision to get infected.

Ladies congrats on the band, next week you'll feel alot better

MK good luck to whatever you decide to get and dont forget, the band is just a tool, you still have to put in the work.

I do insanity 3x a week. I do it at my pace, some of the exercises that i cant do I substitute them with a different type of exercise.

Thanks for answering that way i could tell my bro

You should stop eating when you are satisfied not full, that way you wont over eat.

I had the band and my bro had GB, did you stretch out the pouch by forcing too much food?

I think you may have to increase your protein intake, because protein helps you not get hungry. Also remember dont eat till your full but till your satisfied

Congrats and Good luck!

Congrats!
