ticare approval
meekie, took about 2 hrs for tri care to approve the consult with dr. weiner. then it took 7 days to approve for actual surgery. he has you stay on a 3 week liquid diet. But be prepared cause i just went yesterday for my month check up and they said that because i lost 21 lbs they will not do an adjust ment and set my next appt at 3 mth check up on sept. 22 If i think i need a fill before then though im sooooo calling them back to beg. Also, i usually have to wait like and hour after myu appt. time to see him, its kinda crazy but still worth it.

I'll go first
hey meekie, i had my lapband done with prof. weiner, and i had a c-section and he did mine no problem. He will tell you though that lap band and americans beacause of the soft food like muffins goes thru the band that it might not be the best choice. Just let himknow its the only one your doing and he has no problemo's with it. I loved his hospital and staff.

6 months out and pregnant
check the prego forum and see others experience, but if he wants to take the fluid out because he is worried about the baby let him. The baby comes first. You can always restart after you deliver a nice healthy child.

Questions!!
Okay i went to my 1 mth checkup and i have lsot 21 lbs. But because i lost 21 lbs my surgeon will not do a fill. He scheduled me back Sept 22nd for a 3 mth checkup. I kinda think i eat to much. I had my surgery done in frankfurt germany and he just kept saying to watch my portions. My question is will i know if im hurting my band? Like say stretching my pouch? or a slip? Has anyone had these things and noticed them? i figure i can eat about 2 cups of food, i think i should just eat 1 so im trying to limit myself because i don't want no problems. I have some restriction because i sure could eat alot more before band, but have not had an actual fill and like i said won't probably get one till end of sept. unless i really need one

I dont' like being able to eat anything, bread, etc. and i think i can eat alot, like i ate a whole cheese sandwhich. i don't think i should be able to eat that much maybe 1/2 is all.

2wks post op...how long till I can eat normal food?
i had 3 weeks liquids last two days have been able to eat anything as long as im limited in amounts and take my time. I love tunafish with (6)crackers and ate the sunkist to go ones, with no problems. Ive also had some gyro meat no problems, and ONE of my sons cheeze its. i honestly have had no problems, but i chew so that is like serious liquid in my mouth then i even press it and my tongue to the roof of my mouth to make sure that it was chewed enough. Im so scared to go thru what you just went thru. Im sorry it was bad, hopeflly next time it will be better.
