Hi Sal, Hope every thing goes great for you. Walk plenty even around the house to keep the wind pains at bay. I was banded January 16th and so far so good. I get my first fill on Friday. Good luck.

Hi everybody!

I'm about to send my papers for the financing of my band.

I have a lower BMI, (37) with no health issues (so far). My mother has diabetes and I'm afraid I'm going that way since I'm 43 now.

I've lost about 50 pounds twice, with diet pills, only to regain it all. I'm to a point where it just doesn't seem to be an answer. So, here is my question: is lap band the answer? How do you all feel about having the band? Any regrets? Do you feel as satisfied as the diet pills will give you the feeling in the first days of it? Please, send me some answers!

Thank you!

Hi, AC...

I was banded yesterday the 26th as well. Some discomfort & pain but tolerable.

I have been lurking on the forums for the past couple weeks. A great resource.

Hi Lekesia,

great to hear from you, keep moving it does get better. My dietitian gave me a diet plan for the first 2 weeks with a Protein drink called sustagen and a multi-Vitamin called supradyn that you buy from local chemist and supermakets. I am now on day 8 and feeling really great. Hear from you soon.

Hi,

Jonny3jack,

Hope you are doing well I find if you keep moving small walks a couple of times a day helps with the gas pains.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
