I had Blue Cross. They did great. I used Dr. Touliatous at Trinity in Birmingham. They had to repair a hernia first. What a surprise. I'm 4 weeks post op and still eating mostly liquids and staying less than 1000 cals. Good Luck:)

I was banded on 12-11-07. I have only lost 10 pounds. I lost 10 prior to surgery, so that's 20 total. I have to stick closely to the liquid diet and less than 1000cals to lose weight. I've tried to eat soft fish, soups, etc., but I don't loose. I dont' know how many calories I'm eating. I came back to work yesterday, and it has been easier because I stay busy. Good luck to us all.

My goal is to be healthy. I'd like to lose to 135 pounds at the most. I'm 90 pounds away. I was banded 0n 12-11-07. So I'm still new to this.

Try mixing in carnation no sugar instant breakfast. It makes it taste better.

I ate popcorn 3 weeks post surgery and was surprised that I went down fine. I started slow.
