Hello everyone, I was also banded 3/4 in Parker, CO. I live in PA and was self pay. Congrats to everyone. My biggest thing postop is gas!!!!!! feels like a big bubble in chest if i fill my pouch to fast ( usually with water ) I'm having to remember the 30 minute drinking rule. Before and after meals! an oh I love water!!! I lost 9 lbs since surgery adn 11lbs before! Here we go. I will wait until 2 wks post op to start exercising to make sure everything is on its way to healing well!!

:whoo:GO BIG BABY!! I AM BLACK AND I KNOW WEIGHT IS A TREMENDOUS HEALTH PROBLEM FOR US. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT STICKING TO THE DIET AND EXERCISE IS A BIG SUCCESS FACTOR. I AM NOT BANDED YET BUT MY DATE IS 3/4/2008! I EXPECT AND HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE TO BE A SUCCESS STORY WITHOUT EXCUSES. ( IN MY CASE IT IS ALSO GENETIC!) :clap2::heh::rockon::banana:cheer2::eek:

I Am Self Pay And My Surgery Date Is March 4th. That Is When My Schedule Will Allow. Has Anyone Tried A Pda Software To Help With Food And Exercise Diary? I'm Getting Excited. My Nutritionist Consult Is 1/17/2008 And Surgery Consult Is 1/14/2008.

Hey Guys! It Works!, Thanks, Trina1122

Hello everyone, My name is Katrina. I am trying to get the process started. I wish to get the lap band. I live in PA near the MD border. My BMI is 44. I have decided on Dr. K. But I don't know where to start. I have to be self pay because my work have decided on an insurance plan that does not cover bariatric surgery. I have made initial contact with the office but not definite appts. What should I do? Do I need more research? Every one here speaks highly of Dr. K. I am also a OB/Gyn so I am comfortable with surgery and it's complications. Although, I haven't had major surgery! Should I get financing first or schedule consulting appts first? All input would be greatly appreciated. What did you guys do pre-op? What about fills, anyone know any fill DRs in Md or PA?:help:
