Medicare just approved me for 6 visits. I had lap band done April 2011 with another doctor. Both doctors are in the Melbourne, Fl I changed doctors even though I paid $3,700.00, as the orginal doctor just tighen my band even though I developed numerous lung infections due to reflux. My copay currently is $25.00 per fill/visit.

I took mine back to the store. The FIRST TWO INGREDENTS Were two different forms of sugar. I did taste one bottle--it tasted like vitinams. Not worth the price for calories.

How do you know the band needs to be "repositioned"? How does the doctor reposition the band?

Public grocery stores sell 3oz cans of chicken. You could mix with single servings of low fat mayo. Also, freeze some yougurt or cheese.

Addition to above post: Put foood in cup cake lined cupcake pans. Again, once frozen, put into larger compact containers.

I freeze sauces, cream soups, and chicken in ice cube trays. Once frozen, I pop them out, then put in plastic storage bags. I take out only what I need for that meal. They defrost on the counter nin no time. I also, freez "milk" cubes for shakes.

I'm in despirate need of affordable vitamins. Where is the best place to purchase some?

I had protien powder to my bottle protien shakes (boost). I add about a tablespoon into the bottle-I make a "funnel" with my hand. then spoon the powder in. I also, have a BIG problem getting my protein in each day.

It deffently could be the pineapple juice. Somtimes it will bother me

Does it make a difference the sosurce of protein one gets? Soy, plant or whey? Also, is there a good site to order the protein from?

I thionk he's at the Viera Hospital==Health First

Hi! I'm in Melbourne and was banded last April. There are a few of us trying to start a morning support group. Are you interested? I'm in my 50's with a son who is 32getting married this year. One of my best friends, (spelt Debi) lives in Killaspell/Somers, Mt. I was there last May/June. I love Mt!. It's a small world!! call me 751-1888-leave a message as I often screen my calls.

I'm was banded last April. I havaen't been losing much weight even though I go for fills. Any suggestions? Anyone interested in a morning support meeting?

When going for "fills" is it normal for the doctor to REMOVE instead of adding water (per medical records) when one doesn'thave any problems other than being hungery? I have surgery over 6 monthes ago.
