    Bakersfield??

    I was recently banded (10-19-2010) and just learning to use this site. I've attended the once monthly support group at Mercy Southwest. Have you found any others?
  6. Thank you for your help. CamdensNaNa

  7. Just had my two-week post op exam and confused about exactly what brand of LapBand was implanted. Dr. said he only uses "LapBand AP Standard" but surgical report said "Innomed Vanguard" which I can't even find on a google search. Any ideas?

    Thank you for responding, Marw. I really appreciate it.
  9. I need to be on the pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. The last day before surgery is clear liquids only until midnight. Thanks for asking.

    Taking the Plunge

    Here I go.... First day on this website and not sure how to handle it. I am scheduled for AGB on 9/28 and went to my first support group this past week. A wonderful woman was 4 months past her own procedure mentioned this as a great place to get help and support. I'm in need of both. I have one more day of FOOOOOOD! before starting my liquid pre-op diet on Monday 9/13. Been gathering protein suppliments and liquids, but was just following the dietician's "canned" recommendations. I didn't understand the importance of the "sugar-free" popsicles/juice and bought all the wrong stuff. Most of them have about 100 calories per serving. Now I'm bummed about wasting them (typical, huh?). After reading some of the forums here it seems like I'm supposed to be shrinking my liver with low carbs, not just eliminating texture and increasing protein as I had thought. Guess it's time for an attitude adjustment and some discipline about getting rid of my stash of liquid carbs. I'll do the right thing because I am committed to making this work. There's lots to learn.
