Hi Crystal! WOW! Your weight loss has been REALLY great! He's going to be pleased for sure! I lost about 30 lbs. since surgery, but mine was the end of April, so you should be really pleased!
The fills are really quick and easy with Dr. Uchal, so nothing to worry about...they both took only a few minutes and finding the port and filling me was about 30 seconds each time. The nurse swabs you in the port area, then he comes in, they ask you to lift your legs up and keep them straight, he feels for the port, injects and you're done (except for drinking a glass of water to be sure you're not too tight).
Let me know how it goes...I'm back for my third fill next week...maybe will cross paths one of these days!
Keep up the good work and I hope you're enjoying the new you! -BG

Good morning!
I havent posted for a long time, not sure if you remember or not but I had my surgery June 4th by Dr. Uchal. I go in Thursday for my first fill, but have lost a total of 35 pounds since surgery. It is slow going, but seems good to me.

cbonifate replied to kimmom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
WOW I guess I am scared to try and eat. I was banded June 3rd and still on mushies. This is my day yesterday. Breakfast: 10 oz skim milk with 1 tablespoon High Protein slim fast Lunch: Sugar free popsicle Dinner:Three to four bites of chicken dumpling broth and two or three spoons of scrambled egg Usually drink 50 -60 ounces of water a day plus I take 2 flinstones chewable multi vitamins a day. Not sure but I think I have lost about 30 pounds including pre surgery diet. -
Silly Surgery Question
cbonifate replied to chloemom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery last Wednesday (June 3rd) and my underpants and socks were the only thing I had on during the acutal surgery. -
I have read your blogs and I must say you crack me up. But I do have a serious question. Where exactly is your port? I am having surgery tomorrow and was planning on drawing him a map hehehe. No, I have been presing on different places on my tummy and I cant find a spot where I think will cause the least amount of pain and be accessable.

Good morning!
I see that you chose AGH for your Lap Band, have you had surgery yet?
I am scheduled for surgery Wednesday with Dr Uchol.
Just wondering about your expereince with AGH.
Thank-you,
Crystal

Good afternoon! Has anyone here had Dr. Uchol at the Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh PA for their band surgery? I am having surgery on June 3rd and he does not require a pre po diet. I am on a low carb, low sugar diet that I myself chose. I’m just wondering if anyone else has had him and had any trouble with a large liver at surgery time. Thank-you, Crystal
