Always Hungry?
I’m a week out from surgery and yes I’m hungry. I had the lapband for 10 years and never once felt hungry. I am still weak feeling. I’m now eating protein shakes, broths, jello, Greek yogurt and I added a scrambled egg. The egg did help. I did read that when you don’t get enough protein you will be hungry. I can’t eat more than I am.

I am July 9th in Mexico. Today I started my clear liquid only diet. It's hard with my grandkids here at my house. All they want is chips, pop and ice cream.

This is not true. I talked to my surgeon and he takes patients that went outside the country. If anything was to happen and was serious I would go to the ED.

My coordinator said, I was getting the mini. She might be wrong.

Renew Bariatrics - Tijuana, Mexico
I’m curious to why your experience there was not the greatest. I’m trying to find a surgeon. I was supposed to have the bypass on May 27th 2022. My husband changed jobs. Now UHC plan they have doesn’t have coverage.
