Hi, everyone

I am new to this site, just joined today. I am getting banded on September 4, too, but in Baltimore, Maryland. My doc is Andrew Averbach.

I am so excited! I can't wait to get this done and start my new life. :D Right now, my knees, legs, feet and back hurt so bad, I could scream.

Looking forward to participating in this site.

Kathy

Thanks,

I feel a lot better since my post op checkup yesterday. The doctor put me on a puree diet until Sunday 8/17/08. It was confirmed that I did loose 12lbs since last Monday 8/4/08 (surgery day). They also made an appt for my first fill 9/12/08. Yeah:lol:

And I've found some relief from that pesky itching. They told me to take Benadryl and put some Hydrocortisone on my wounds. Aahh! What a relief.:crying:

Acck I can not believe that I will be banded on Sept 4th!!! I am going to be banded in Austin, TX by dr Stephen Fass. I am on my two week pre-opt diet at this point which consist of high Protein / low carb (yummy :tt1:). I am so nervous at this point. I had to do the 6 mo weight study before insurance would approve me and I never thought this day would come, but now it is right around the corner!!!!! :tongue_smilie::thumbup::biggrin:

Hi,

I am in the Uk and getting banded on the 3rd Sep.

However I am not sure I made the correct choice.

I am still not sure if I should have gone for the by pass.

How did you make your decision and why?

The reason I am not sure is because I am a finacing it myself and can not afford it not having results.

The reason I chose the band is because there is no cutting and rerouting of anything inside me, its reversible, and it is adjustable. I would say my favorite thing about it is that it can be adjusted according to how much restriction you need. The bypass is a bit riskier and it can not be adjusted like the band can.

      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.
