Hi! Just wanted to say hello and I'm new too. Also having my band removed and sleeve done. Hopefully on 9/20 when I get my Insurance Approval. (thinking positively!) I got my band last summer and for a year went through the rigamaroll of fill, lose some, fill, not feel restricted, fill, not feel restricted, fill, fill, look for leak, this, that... finally went back for a fill and there was no Fluid in my band coming out (where did it go?) and nothing could go in either.. so they determined my band to be defective. Angry and depressed I wasted a year of my life on that thing! But... moving on and thinking positively and ready to start over. I'm a little afraid about the amount of pain I'll have with having both things done at once. Are you? They stitch the port in pretty securely right? Anyway good luck.. hope we can keep in touch. :-)

Unjury makes a Protein Powder that is "chicken soup" flavor. I am pretty sure it's considered a clear liquid. I was using it after my band surgery. 20g of Protein in one scoop. Maybe check into it? They deliver SO fast, and you can order packets/samples. Good luck!!

Congratulations and glad you are feeling well!!

what if you tell them you need a hernia repair? i was in to see my surgeon and ran into an old college friend, and when i asked who she was seeing, she said my surgeon.. for a hernia. just a thought. good luck.

My surgery date is set for September 20th, pending insurance approval. My Lapband is defective and coming out, and I am getting sleeved the same time hopefully. Ready to succeed! I'm really looking forward to getting to know you all and have some companions along the way.
