  1. THANKS I APPRECIATE THE RESPONSE. I SPOKE TO A LOCAL DR THAT SAID HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT. I AM ONLY TAKING THE BAND OUT BECAUSE IT JUST HASN'T WORKED FOR ME. I WAS NEVER ABLE TO FIND MY SWEET SPOT SO I JUST KEPT IT TOO TIGHT WHICH WAS MISERABLE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE SLEEVE I DECIDED IT WAS JUST SOMETHING I WANTED INSTEAD. MY AUNT WAS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT UP KEEPING THE BAND ALSO. SHE JUST THOUGHT SINCE I PAID FOR IT ANT IT WASN'T BOTHERING ME WHY COULDN'T I KEEP IT OPEN. THEN IF MY SLEEVE EVER STRECHED I COULD ALWAYS HAVE IT FILLED. IM NOT SURE IF THAT IS SOMETHING I WOULD WANT TO DO OR NOT EVEN IF IT WAS POSSIBLE.
  2. I BOOKED MY APPOINTMENT FOR MAY 12 A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO AND NEED TO LOSE 22LBS. LOSEING THE WEIGHT ISN'T MY WORRY, IT WAS REPLACING MY PASSPORT AND GETTING MY BAND UNFILLED (I DIDN'T HAVE A LOCAL DR.). I WAS ABLE TO APPLY FOR THE PASSPORT AND EXPIDITE IT AND FIND A LOCAL DR THAT UNFILLED MY BAND. I AM NOW JUST FOCUSING ON THE DIET AND WEIGHT LOSS.
  3. I AM HAVING A BAND TO SLEEVE REVISION NEXT MONTH. I WAS PLANNING ON HAVING MY BAND REMOVED. A QUESTION WAS JUST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. DO I HAVE TO HAVE THE BAND REMOVED DURING THE REVISION? MY AUNT ALSO HAS A BAND AND TOLD ME SHE KNOWS SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE BAND AND SLEEVE. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME ANY INSIGHT ON THIS?
  4. so I just got off the phone with dr.miranda she stated she didn't care how much fat and carbs right now. She said 1000 cal. To 1200 cal. Is good. She said to do what we have to do to last the three weeks with out solids and if that means fattening cream soups she said go for it.
  5. Sorry about the typos! Lol I'm on my phone
  6. Thank you I think yesterday was the first day I broke 1000 calories but I was upset because my fast grand were so high.but mabey yesterday was a good day! I think I might call the nutritionist and ask her first hand. I will let you know what she says
  7. I was wondering what my calorie intake should be during the post op diet? I know they say 60 grams of protein but also what should my fat and carb intake be? The reason I'm asking is I was worried I want getting enough calories so I ate a small cup of straine.d potato soup, which is kind of fattening
  8. I am doing ok. The recovery is perfect. I have no pain and am almost back to my normal routine. I am sticking to the post op diet, but it is hard. I really have to remind myself why i am doing this. Last night I was at my pool tournament and everyone was eating pizza. It is so hard to smell the food and know I only get protein shakes. At the same time, I believe it is a mental battle that will help my long term results. How is everything with you? I hope your recovery is going as good as mine!
  9. I also was there on March 9th, and I have to agree it was wonderful! I LOVED the whole staff. I was actually in Mexico less than 24 hours! I cant wait to go back in 6 weeks for my fill. I had no pain with the surgery, a little tenderness was all. Im so excited to have made the leap and finally took my life into my own hands.
  10. Thanks a bunch to both of you! I no this is going to change my life, but I just cant help but worry. I believe I can do it!
  11. Hi I am having my lapband surgery on Friday and my biggest fear with it is the liquid post op diet. I was just wondering how everyone has gotten through it. I am so worried that I won't be able to stick to it. Is it easier after the surgery? Has anyone had problems with it? I want this to work. Also, I go to the gym several days a week. How long after the surgery should I wait before I start working out again?
  12. OK so my appointment is March 9. Im so excited. I am ready!!!!
  13. If things go my way I will be making a february apointment.
