I got the Realize Band (I think) I is just another brand. I was laproscopic. 5 cuts instead of 6. I will find out for sure on Friday.
I am feeling great. Just do not pick anything off the floor or lift any thing heavy. I guess Tonight I will drive myself to school.

Thanks for the support Joy.

Topic: RE: info about Dr Nease and staff

I am having lapband surgery on Oct.1. My experience with Dr. Nease and the office staff has been great. They are all nice and whether you talk to them on the phone or email them, they take the time to answer all your questions. Dr. Nease has a wonderful way of explaining everything. I agree with Crystal, most of the information is geared toward gastric bypass with little info on the lapband. I am looking forward to having the surgery,
Dixie

Topic: Day Four>>hungry
I did not post yesterday but it went well. All I took was some liquid Tylenol. Today I have not needed anything for pain. I feel a lot better than I thought I would.

I am very hungry today. I keep thinking about Uno's Pizza and steak. I just eat my full liquids. I did not do my homework today so It will have to be done tomorrow. I am off work all week so I can do it.

That's all for now. Crystal

Topic: RE: Day two A little better
  Hi Crystal
   so you like Unjury   I havent tried that one   I like the ones I am using sooooo
  I know what you mean about being afraid of becoming "hooked" on the loratab  I have the same fear    addiction problems are in my family  as well    but the little they give you isnt going to cause you any troubles   and if you need more make sure to call and tell them  being in pain right now isnt an option   it will make your recovery longer.
  How was day three?
 I plan on calling you  but  well  I have a problem with my voice at times  it is real hard to hear and sounds like I have a horrid cold but dont   I am not calling so not to scare you.
  Keep tring to get the protein in and dont freak out if you dont right off   you are still swollen and healing  so until you get a fill  you will be fine.
   I got another fill Friday so I am on 2 days of stage 2 and 3 days of stage 3  so tomorrow I can go to the mushies   after each fill they wll suggest this plan so to let the pouch and band get use to the new amount  I pray that this one will do it. In the last six weeks I had lost 3.5 lbs  but I had been down to 185 but now back up to 188 so I had gained 3.5 lbs back     I am thinking about doing some walking even tho the foot doc says not yet  I think that is keeping me from loosing
   Ok I am off here so you can rest and dont do to much to soon 
Prayers for you  
  willa

Anyone used Dr Nease for a revision surgery or has he performed a BPD/DS on anyone?

Crystal,
Here's to a speedy recovery!  How long were you in the hosp?  I am on day 5 of the preop diet and am doing ok.  A little cranky now and then  :)  Hope you start feeling better soon.

Topic: RE: Revision from RNY to BPD/DS?
I have read that the revision is a difficult operation.  Head over to the Duodenal Switch forum, there are a few revisions there that can help answer your question.

I give because I have been given much.

Topic: RE: Got my date!
I'm with Dr Kaplan at CCMH in Parkersburg.  I have to have 60g protien a day.  I'm to have 2 LoCarb Slim Fast--Yuck!  and at dinner 4oz of meat and a non-starchy veg.  If my sugar drops, I'm a diabetic, I can have 6 oz ff/sf yogart or 8oz cottage cheese.  I bought some 100% whey from GNC to add to my Slim Fast and it helps.  This is day 4 and so far/ so good. 

Crystal, how's the first few days after surgery? 

Thanks,
Pat
