I Had RNY sugery, i understand it is different.  When i feel hunger?  I ask my self why, as an emotional eater, i have diguised hunger as feeling for years.  make sure that hunger is hunger not anger, sadness, disappointment, happy.  Feel the feeling. 

I have gone to Katherine Jibben at Dakota Dermatology on s. minnesota ave..i am really happy with her..her number is 605-330-9619..good luck

oh god...the Psyc part was horrid..had me in a room for allmost 3 hours doing some test...hard not to fall asleep on em..:P  but good luck with the insurance...

Michael,

I was banded July24 in Sioux Falls.  I am from Chamberlain.  To answer your question, It really helped me to use K20 protein water mix.   You can buy it as bottled water, or buy the powder (walmart has it) and mix it with bottled water.  I guess the protein really helps with the hunger.  The other thing my doc told me was that if I was feeling hungry, I could have yogurt or milk between meals because that's also full of protein.  But, I would check with your doc first to make sure it's okay for you.  Hope this helps...and good luck!!  Feel free to email me back with questions, etc! 

I've lost 54 pounds since July and Im LOVING my band!!
