the other day my brother in law pointed someting out to me that I think is valid for all of us to consider. He said that he notices I get full fast. but when there is a lot of food around and its a social event I will eat non stop the entire time. I guess I didnt notice it. I have had a hard time getting the weight off and I was banded in december. Take a paper and pen and if needs be a scale and weigh everything and write it down. when I do it I say holy crap I snuck some in here and there and it amounts to being enough to put a hitch in my get up

Thanks for the correction I'm not trying to point fingers at the wrong people it was Bingham county memorial hospital thank you

What time I came tonight and no one was there.

Hi my name is Bradley Durham I was banded on December 8 2008. by Dr Anthony K Davis He is a great doctor but unfortunately the hospital experience at bannock county regional wasnt to great. My wife and I were kept over night because we were a late in the day surgery. I laid on an operating gurney all night because they couldn't find any more beds. When i came out of surgery they wheeled me into the room with my wife who also had surgery that day and took her Oxygen cannula off her and put it directly on to me without changing it. The room had no phone and only one O2 hook up and obviously only one bed. Later that night because it was impossible to sleep with nurses coming in loudly all night i walked around the hospital floor only to see room after room of empty beds. And the best part is that instead of the quoted rate for surgery they charged us double each. There were not patient advocates to help us with the billing issues just a whole lot of people who were covering their butts and didnt want to get in trouble. So here I am with a lap band and a bill double what was quoted to me and the worst experience I have ever had with anything in my life. I need a support group because i dont want anything to do with that hospital or its staff. Dont go to BCMH unless you want to pay out more than they promise.

I lost 56 pounds pre op and got banded on the 8th of december 2008. I am still supposed to be on liquid but its driving me nuts because i can eat just fine as I have discovered. Call it retardation but I ate out today with my wife who was banded with me and while we didnt eat much we were able to eat without much restriction we split a quasadilla and it was just fine. is this normal or am I a freak I know I have the large and she has the small but I am feeling normal hunger and liquid just isnt doing it for me.
