Thanks everyone for your advice...I am going to call!

Hi I had my 1st fill June 3rd. I was expecting to feeel a significant amount of restriction. But I don't. I thought I was only suppose to be eating a golf ball size amount of food....I actually ate a whole hamburger the other day, I haven't really lost any weight since the fill. Should I be feeling restriction? My doctor said to come back in 2 months, but I almost feel the need to go back sooner, any suggestions???? I appreciate your help! Cindy

I am very nervous about this pre op liquid diet... 2 weeks, no food, today I feel like I have to eat everything in site. My surgery is scheduled for 4/29. They said I would be on a liquid diet for about a month. Does anyone have any suggestions, did you feel this way? Is it really as bad as I am making it out to be? Please any suggestions are more than appreciated! Cindy

Hi All I have been researching the lap band for over a year now. I started with Day One Health in Chicago, about 6-7 months ago, I have just fininhed my 6 months of "dieting" per insurance guidelines. I still need to make my Psychologist appt. Here is where my confusion sets in...I work at Loyola Hospital, I have met a few people who have had lap band surgery by a physician at Loyola, and they were pleased with the overall procedure. I went to get a consult from this doctor. She wants me to go get clearance from several specialists, and have a hand ful of tests, including a sleep study. Why didn't Day One do this? Is it just different practices that require different tests, prior to surgery. Loyola is more conveinient for me, I will have to travel a longer distance to go to Day One, but I really have already waited 6 months for the procedure, to set up all these tests and consults might take several more months.... Any thoughts. Thanks for your help! Cindy
