  1. The tone between Consult and surgery depends on your insurance requirments for me it was 6 months because I needed 6 months of medical supervised weight lost attempt. So I saw my PCP monthly and we discussed diet exercise act. Good Luck
  2. Hey also try TCBY frozen Yogurt. It comes in soft and hard the hard taste just like ice cream nice healthy treat
  3. I was just banded and only my family knows. What do I do when I go out to eat. What should I order at the different cuisines, I do not want to draw attention. Any suggestions? I used to do Dallas BBQ or Pizzeria Unos, Chinese. I also don't want to stop taking my kids to their favorite places to eat. Because I'm. Sure what to order. I just had a brilliant idea restaurants should have a menu for individuals who had weight loss surgery. Something like the low calorie section.
  4. I was banded with Dr ren fielding. NYU, also they have an insurance coordinator who can help you get approval from your insurance.
  5. I had my band by Dr Ren fielding on August 27th . she is great. And I have one incision below the belly button. She also gave me heart shaped bandages which was a. Sweet sensitive touch. I see her tomorrow for my post op visit. I don't have a scale so I. Can't wait to see how much I weigh. NYU was a great experience.
  6. I just had my surgery yesterday, I feel like a elephant is sitting on my chest. I don't know if it is the tightness of the band from swelling or the gas. I will say I was pleasantly surprised and pleased to find out I only have one scar I will have to be concerned about, the other is in my belly button. When will the tightness go away?. When does the gas they put in you go away I am. Pretty sure that's we're most of the discomfort is coming from I am a little short of breath., so I'm doing my breathing exercise. Just very uncomfortable
