    4 months since lap band surgery

    You may want to check out the 5 day pouch test. You can find it at 5 day pouch test . com. It can kickstart your weightloss. Good luck

    Last chance???

    Don't worry I had several "last suppers" before I had surgery, you'll do just fine.
  4. I would just order a small regular meal & eat about half if u can, then get a doggy bag for the next day.

    Coffee

    I don't drink coffee for at least 30 min. after I eat breakfast, then I drink as much as I want. Haven't had any problems.

    My four month progess pics

    You're looking good Jamie, hope my results are as good as yours on my4 month mark. Where were you banded, I was banded at DuPaul hospital?
  7. Recent studies show that the lapband is starting to retain long term weightloss over the GBP due to most stretch their pouch to 1/2 the original size the their stomach & regain most of their weight. We have a lot of GBP patients in our support group & they don't look as well as the band patients. Good luck on your journey

    Fills

    6 weeks for me
  10. Dear SDgirl,I was also banded on April 23rd & I got my 1st fill June5 of 1.5cc. I don't have my 2nd fill till July 30 & everyone tells me our doc only gives 1/2 cc from 2nd fill on. I called his nurse today to see if I could move it up cause I don't have any restriction & she said the doc won't do it cause he wants to make sure I'm healed up good. OMG how much time do I need to heal up. Anyway good luck to you.
  11. Welcome Amos, All I can tell you is the lapband was definatly the right choice for me. I certainly wished this would have been available when I was 23. I would do all the research I can on the band & attend the nutritional class & ask all the questions you want. If you decide to go with the band then I would call your insurance co. to see if it is covered. Good luck in your journey.
  12. Hey pat ,Just wondering how u r doing & if you're going to the support group on Wed. I've lost 37 lbs total but haven't lost since I started solid food. Thinking about asking to move my fill date up 4 weeks since they had me 8 weeks between fills. Who should I ask the doc or ancy? Anyway hope to see u at the meeting
