Cheese and Light & Fit yogurt ... should I be staying away? :thumbup:

THANKS! I will look into that!

Yes, its definitely head hunger.

I have been, and I am restricted. I just have found ways to eat around the band I guess u could say ... eating ice cream and things that go down real easy. So embarrassing. Just dont know what to do ... go back on the liquid and start all over from there?

I was banded on 2/25/09. I did real well for the first month and lost about 20 pounds. However, I have fallen back into all my old habits and gained back almost all of it! I feel like a complete failure! :biggrin: I know I need to jump back on it QUICK but feel like I dont know where to start or even how to do it! HELLLP! :tongue2:

I am doing great! I felt back to normal in about a week. The gas pains afterward were pretty rough, but no regrets. Dr. Hollis is great! I have lost 15lbs since surgery 2 weeks ago and 21lbs all together including the pre op diet. Good luck, and keep me updated on you!

Yes, I was banded a week ago today! Doing well! I do miss eating food, one more week before that! I feel almost 100% myself again. Just waiting for this weight to start dropping off.

So you had Dr. Hollis as well? That's good to know!! When did you have your surgery and how has your progress been?

Me!! I will be banded on 2/25/09 with Dr. Hollis (True Results).

Hello! I'm Gretchen, and live in Seabrook. I will be banded on 2/25/09 with Dr. Hollis (True Results). I would love to participate in any support groups in the area!

Hello all, I'm Gretchen. I live in houston, TX and will be banded on 2/25/09 with Dr. Hollis. Very excited, nervous and anticipating what is to come. I'd love to have a lap band buddy/mentor!!! :cursing: Consult Appt:1/8/09 Submitted to BC/BS for Approval: 2/2/09 Approved: 2/6/09 Pre-op Education: 2/11/09 Surgery: 2/25/09

Hello all, I'm new to this. I have been researching LapBand for about a year now and have finally decided to go through with it. I have had my consult with True Results and go for my Psych eval, blood work, and Nutrition appointments tomorrow. I am with BC/BS of CA, and wondering how long the approval wait has been for others who have/had this insurance. . I'm very anxious and ready to get this done so I can start living a much better, healthier life:smile:! -Gretchen-
