I personally have not had it done but my best friend had it done.
The same doc that is doing my surgery did hers . I will be honest with you he is very very strict about it and sometimes he wont even do it.
You have to have a very good reason why you want the lapband after gastric., and you have to show that you did lose weight on the gastric.
He agreed to do hers becasue she did lose 124 pounds the first yr with the gastric, but she got preg, and well once you stretch the stomach back out the gastric is about useless that is what her previous doc told her and from what others have told me.
She gained about 74 pounds back alot of it has to do after she had the baby she was just like the rest of everybody else normal stomach and so forth.
I think it would depend on your surgeon there are some out there that wont do it at all, but then there are some like mine that will do it but you best have a very darn good reason as to why you want it done.
My friend had it done last yr and sadly to say she only has lost 40 pounds and that is with 13 pound pre op diet she lost. But, she just dont follow the rules either and has not had a fill since the second month of surgery .

that is a good idea never thought of that . also a friend of mine till she got use to eating slow and what the amount of food should look like your silverware she ate with a baby spoon and fork she said that really helped.
Also I know this has nothing to do with eating smaller but my NUT recommened goign to get a toddler plate from Walmart to eat off.
It's actually very neat time I cut my meat up and measure it a 1/2 cup of protein fits in that half of the plate perfect and so does 1/4 cup of veggies and 1/4 cup veggies/carbs for the other two sections
I ate it off it the other night ot see and it really helps with your brain that you are getting a full plate of food

Thank you Kristie,
I was very curious about this because I was thinking gosh 64 oz plus of water or any kind of fluid that is alot in one day if you have to baby sip lol.
See im a very slow drinker I just dont drink all the time I get my water in right now of course but it might take me 5 hrs to drink 20 oz but when I take drink I can drink half of the bottle .
Guess I better start just drinking even though Im not thirsty

This might sound like a silly question but Im going to ask anyways lol.
After I heal and get back on track with my food to normal foods when you all drink water is it like you drink water before your lapband or do you have to baby sip water all day ??

Oh my gosh Im exactly like you !!! My surgery is one week from today and Im starting to get very stressed about the IV .
That was the first thing I asked my doc was about the needles when I first saw him, he uses a numbing agent so you dont even feel the needle he said you are done within seconds.

Like another poster said after care that is the most important. there is quite a few docs that dont like to touch other people's work so before you have your surgery I would make sure I have a doctor close to me that will take care of me afterwards for emergencies, fills, unfills and things like that .
or unless you plan on travelling back to Mexico for after care.

Rosalie,
So sorry you cant have no meat or anything that really sucks :o(. Im on my 10 day pre op to my surgery is the day before yours.
I have to drink two shakes a day 4 oz of meat and 1 cup of vetggies for dinner that is it for me. It came down to me my calories was getting so low I was getting sick and to the point of getting dizzy .
I dont have high blood sugar and my sugar was droppning big time .
I ended up adding a 2 cup salad, 1/4 cup of cheese and one of them 100 cal packs of light veggie ranch dip things as dressing with my dinner.
Of me adding that it just added 7 carbs.
I still have lost 7 pounds. I need to lose 3 more by Friday. I also sometimes add 3 teapsoons of applesacue if my sugar is dropping to low. which has been happening alot especially these last few days .
My 10 day pre op ends on Wed and my surgery isnt till Monday and since Im missing thanksgiving this yr my whole family is having thanksgiving dinner on Sat the 20th for me I will have to be very careful on that day
Im not saying its good to cheat but out of all my friends that have done this they have added a salad or two ounces of extra protein to their meals because the calories was just way to low.
I had to add something I was getting to the point of barely having 425 calories a day that to me is very low and very unhealthy now im hitting about 700 something I can deal what that. Still hungry though
And far as engery it didnt bother me the first three days but the last two days Im taking 3 hr naps in the afternoon and still sleeping about 8 hrs at night. I have no desire to do anything !!!

Mine is for the 22nd of Nov and Im going through all these emotions u have listed. I was so bad today I started to cry *sigh*.
I was having second thouhghts about all this. It's not that I can tdo it , I know I can but the other things, something happening to me on the table, complications from the band and I know this sounds like being a baby but the IV . Im scared to death of shots so bad that I can go into panic attacks *sigh*.
Im on the 10 day pre op right now so that is not helping matters at all either. I had lost 6 pounds but gained 2 back and Im afarid its due to my period starting and I can gain anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds before my period. It will be a shame if its my period that keeps me from getting this done
But I know exactly what you are going through because I am going through it also I just had a break down today and just started to cry to hubby

trixie,
I really enjoyed Curves im a stay at home mom so it got me out of the house also.
Im from a small town so alot of it was older ladies for a gossip fest but there was others that worked out hard . If youdo the machines good and hard you can and will work up a sweat.
I quit because I started to make tons of excuses *sigh* But as soon as I can get approved to go back after my surgery Im signing up again .
I figure three days of curves mon, wed and fri and then do 30 min of richard simmons tapes on tuesday and thursday should be enough exercise for the week and have Sat and Sun off .
I liked the idea it was all ladies and there was some thinner ones in there but they all the lapband also and was losing or maintaining

I agree with your post to Nana,
One of the main reasons I chose the lapband becasue I didnt want my insides taken out or reouted.
I knew ahead of time I wont lose 150 pounds plus the first yr like gastric but that is okay with me also because I sure as hell didnt put this weight on a yr it took me yrs and yrs to put this 195 pounds on my body !!
If I can get close to my goal in 2 maybe 3 yrs Im excited about that because it took more then 3 yrs to put this weight on me so to me that is a huge accomplishment. And for some reason if I never reach goal and Im only 20 pounds from it well I will be happy about that because It's still better then the 195 pounds Im carrying on me right now.
My doc of all the bands he has done he has had to do 4 from slippage , that was because they didnt follow the rules and did it themselves .
Also he told me the first yr if the band slips or the port goes bad he will redo the whole surgery for free he said sometimes when people lose 85-100 pounds the first yr it can cause slippage but he has never had that happen yet.
I will take the lapband anyday over any other WLS and if something happens the lapband dont work out for me then I have learned enough from the lapband how I should be eating, what I should be eating and how much to eat and will go from there . I will not have another WLS

My Doc told me as long as I keep my proteins up to 65-80 grams per day I will never have problems with hair loss.
That is why they stress proteins are always first to eat then veggies then starches. This is how I will be eating
1/2 cup of protein
1/4 cup of veggies
1/4 cup of carbs or place veggies here instead.

I had dinner I upped my protein a little I had 6 oz cheeseburger (90% lean ) with light mayo no bread, and 2 cups of salad with 1/4 cup of cheese crumbles and one of them marzetti 100 call ranch veggie dip things.

The last day and right now which is really bad Im getting light headed . IM on the 10 day pre op diet right now.
today is my fifth day. I have lost 6 pounds so far .
I'm averaging about 600-650 cals a day about 25 carbs a day .
Is this from the drastic cut in food that is making me this way ? Im so light headed right now .
I dont have sugar problems I dont have high blood pressure, in fact when I got all my blood work done my NUT said Im the healthiest 350 pounder she has ever seen . she said Im the second one the Doc has ever done surgery on that is so healthy blood work wise which is a total blessing !!
I have cheated on this 10 day diet :o(. Im only allowed two protein shakes a day and 4 oz of protein and 1 cup of veggies for dinner. All the SF jello I want but we all know that dont fill you up lol.
I have added a 1.5 cups of a salad to my dinner also . With noting in it but those 100 cal T Marzetti Ranch Veggie dip things . I had to add something because I was down to about 400 calories a day *sigh*
I wish I knew what was causing this . Could my sugar be dropping to much and causing this ?

Lets remember ladies and gents.... its all about MODERATION NOT DEPRIVATION!!! :)
Thank you for saying that !! I have to keep reminding hubby of that sometimes. when I mention Pizza he says you cant have that.
But I can like you said its all in moderation. Instead of eating the six to seven slices I use to eat I will just eat one with some greens . That is alot healthier then I was eating lol.

bread didnt make me fat either. Eating 6 slices of pizza or eating my dinner and going to mcdonalds or Taco bell 3 hrs later and woofing down a big mac is what got me where I am today .
Im not a big bread eater never have been. I can buy a loaf of bread here and it will last in our family for 2 weeks and to be honest I have to throw it out 80% of the time because it gets moldy.
Now i wont lie when I go out to dinner nothing taste better then a hot buttered roll yummy and I did eat two of them .
My Nut recommends staying away from the "white products' but like they have told me also if Im only eating 1/4 cup of a baked potato then to me that isnt to bad its better then smashing 3 small baked tators together like I use to .
All docs will say stay away from the white products but to me if you eat them in moderation and not eat them every day but maybe a treat once a week or even two times a week to me that is fine that is alot better then how Im eating right now and that is a good thing .

I dont know about the oz part I was told not to weight my food because its more about volume then weight now .
Im suppose to follow 1/2 cup of protein per meal and I cut it up to where I can eat it and measure that way , 1/4 cup of veggies and 1/4 cup of carbs if I chose to or another 1/4 cup of veggies .
Everything cut up first then measure.
If everything is okay with my band I should be able to get a cup of food down no problems and be full . That is why he stresses to me to measure not weight.
