I want to drink something, is this ok???? and does this go away

Yes exactly, I actually had my band on 2/11 and had a huge huge hernia, dr. said it was the biggest he ever seen....... so yes no more heartburn, acid reflux.......

OMG I tried the Protein powder in with skim milk and with crystal light and I just can NOT tolerate it at all, I called the nutritionist and he said some people just can't tolerate it, So I am NOT taking it, I however am eating chicken, and egg whites like their is no tomorrow, Anyone else having this problem with the Protein Powder, and If so any other suggestions please..... I wish there was a pill we could take for it instead...... Also does everyone that has the lapband have to do heparin shots for 2 weeks afterwards???? that scares me, I have never given myself shots before..... any advise???

I have united health care, and they are paying for my surgery, well my out of pocket is 4,000 , but the rest they are paying, it's a 29,000 surgery...

same here, I had my pre-op on Friday, No drinking with meals, have to wait either 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after...... Not easy, but do able... hard thing is going to be giving up Carbonation... LOL for LIFE

hello there, how are you, I haven't been banded, but will be on 2/11 Gosh I start my pre-op diet tomorrow, I am really scared of the surgery...... It scares me to death..... I worry about afterwards too and wonder if I will want "FOOD" but I know I just can't do it... LOL LOL ..... I think having support is a big plus, soooooo If you would like to talk I would love to
