Re: actually starting

January 1, 2007

Congrats to you!!!!!!

Pick a date that you want surgery. Remember that you have to arrive

around 11AM the day before surgery in San Diego and then you'll leave

three days later. You'll need a few days off work after surgery. So

after you set a date you call or email Nina. You give her the date and

make sure it works with their schedule. Set up your plane tickets,

stock up on Gatorade, a protein drink (clear), broth, etc., and then

you are good to go. Nina will cover deposits/payments and such with

you.

No passport needed. Just a driver license. If you fly into Mexico you

will need a passport but if you fly into San Diego Ernesto will pick

you up at the airport and drive you to Mexico. No passport needed if

you are not flying into Mexico.

Make your airline reservations so that you arrive in San Diego around

11:00AM and you leave San Diego airport around 1PM three days later.

If you get a 6PM flight you will have a LONG wait at the airport. So

make it as close to 1PM as possible but not earlier.

When do you think you want to have it done? When I finally made the

decision that I wanted to do this I had surgery six days later. I had

no reason to wait, I wanted it done quickly and I'm glad I did that.

Dawn

After you know you got your money for sure you will mail a deposit of

$500 to Nina or an address she gives you, to secure your date, she

will have probably all ready given you some dates depending on the

doctors sechudle.

From what I was told, you will not need a passport until 2008 unless

you are directly flying into Mexico.

I'm having my RNY Gastric By Pass on the 10th, we are flying into San

Diego on the 8th being picked up by a driver and driven either to the

hotel first or hospital first (this part I'm not sure about) at the

hospital they will do some pre op work, then you go back to the hotel

and get your last supper, LOL, then the next morning go to hospital

and get your surgery, then you get up from that bed and walk those

halls, the more you walk they say the better and faster you heal.

Where do you live, in might even be possible if you are close enought

to just drive, it is my understand from looking at a map, that

Mexacalli is about 1 hour from Yuma AZ.

Hi there, I'm in Oregon, currently checking into the RNY as I've had

no success with the band. Can you give me an update on your RNY

procedure and experiences with Dr Aceves?

Hi Trina, I was asking how her RNY=Roux-en-Y surgery went and I'm interested in learning more about Dr. Aceves. I'm in West Linn, where are you located at? I'd really like to meet other bandsters for support are you in any groups? I am not having any luck with the gastric banding; after 1 year I've gained 30lbs---very frustrating. It seems for me that the band will be very constricted during the day where I can hardly eat anything without vomiting and then around 5ish (dinner time) my band completely opens up and then I'm so hungry from not eating that I'm totally out of control with portions and consequently, I'm over eating. When did you have the banding and by whom? Thanks for the e-mail. nneTrina <trinaant@...> wrote: Hello I live in Oregon too.

Hi Jane, For me, the lap band has been a tremendous struggle due to the fluctuations of band restriction. The band will be super tight all day so that I can't eat a thing without vomiting then when dinner time rolls around, my band has become so loose that there is no restriction and consequently I am eating for the missed food during the day plus dinner---portion is out of control at that point. I'm getting fills regularly, ($165 Portland Dr. Fitzpatrick) I just had one on Fri and I was still able to eat way too much Sat night when I went out with friends. I was told that the band will cause you to be less hungery, and you'll automatically want to eat differently---not the case for me. I'm always hungry and can, unfortunately eat large portions---where's the small pouch that I was told I have?! Knowing what I know now about

the band being so inconsistent and how stress, exercise caffeine etc change the restriction I would choose the Bypass. I only wish I had honest info about the band and how it can fail, not a lot of people want to talk about that aspect of the surgery. I wish you luck in whatever you decide is right for you and please continue to do your homework, there is more info out there then even 1 year ago when I was researching. nne jane moss <mom_jane_moss@...> wrote: nne, I am currently considering the band.

nne, RNY may not do much better for you. Initally, you may lose but if you continue to overeat or binge on food you will stretch out your new little pouch and gain the weight back again. Also, with RNY you will have no real restriction after a few months, maybe 6, then what?? Self control is needed with either of these proceedures and rules are meant to be followed. I can't believe you were even able to eat enough at night to gain 30 lbs??!! That's a bummer! Are you sure your fills have been enough? Most people who gain are not filled properly...I am tight in the mornings too but I "know" when I am able to eat too much later in the day it's time for a fill. I really hope you can talk with a Dr. Aceves and find out what's going on and try to get the band on track before you consider the RNY. Some RNY patients I have heard have the band placed after their pouch stretches, and some have it put on during surgery as a back-up! I hope you can get back to losing with the band and get over the night eating with a fill!

My fingers are crossed hoping you can figure this out..Dana

Hi nne,

I am interested

in your story, because I have not heard of a failure like yours. I have heard

where the band was not for a person, but not because of fluctuations in

restrictions AS BAD as yours. I don’t understand how you can be that

tight during the day, then that open at night. I can understand your

frustration! Maybe you are one of a very few that have this strange problem

with restriction? What kind of liquid are you getting in during the day?

Dana-- I get fills regularly, just had one and there is NO

restriction from early evening on. I understand about self control,

however, there has been no consistency from which to get a routine

that has successful results with all the fluctuations of the band.

Believe the 30 lbs, it's there

A friend of mine has lost $167 lbs in 2 yrs--RNY and she's still

losing. I've heard that it can stop working after 5 yrs and I get

that there are pros and cons to everything. There is no magical cure-

all, I know what I have to do, however MY band has been a moving

target so to speak.

I spoke with a bariatric assistant this evening and he said that he's

spoke with several other patients in my exact situtation with the

exact band (swedish). I've not given up hope, I know there is a way

for me, thanks for your support. nne

I have a comment for everyone that has been banded or is thinking

about being banded. In my opinion, not enough information is given

as to how to eat with the band. I was banded in May of 06 and have

only lost about 10 lbs in all...however, I was doing many many

things wrong...for example...I was told not to drink with my

meals...but I wasn't explained why...so I drank with my meals. I

was never told to eat as fast as possible...otherwise if you eat

real slow you can eat as much as a non-banded person. I was also

never explained how to eat....protein first...then veggies then

carbs...I went to 's webpage http://tracyslapband.com/index.htm

and I read over it and found many things I've been doing wrong. We

get information when we are banded...but just not enough...I think

people think you get banded...and boom..you're skinny...it doesn't

work like that...you have to follow the directions...I found 's

website very informative and I encourage every one that is newly

banded and even those that are old timers with little success to

tweak their eating routine and follow the instructions...I have and

have lost another 6 lbs....the band is not a magic wand...its simply

a tool that works as long as you work with it. This is my

opinion...does anyone else agree?

This is what it says on 's website:

IDEAL MEAL PROCESS (rules of the pouch):

1. The patient must time meals five hours apart or the patient will get too

hungry in between.

2. The patient needs to eat finely cut meat and raw or slightly cooked

veggies with each meal.

3. The patient must eat the entire meal in 5-15 minutes. A 30-45 minute meal

will cause failure.

4. No liquids for 1 ½ hours to 2 hours after each meal.

5. After 1 ½ to 2 hours, begin sipping water and over the next three hours

slowly increase water intake.

6. 3 hours after last meal, begin drinking LOTS of water/fluids.

7. 15 minutes before the next meal, drink as much as possible as fast as

possible. This is called " water loading, " IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN DRINKING OVER

THE LAST FEW HOURS, THIS 'WATER LOADING' WILL NOT WORK.

8. You can water load at any time 2-3 hours before your next meal if you get

hungry, which will cause a strong feeling of fullness.

THREE PRINCIPLES FOR GAINING AND MAINTAINING SATIETY:

1. Fill pouch full quickly at each meal

2. Stay full by slowing the emptying of the pouch. (Eat solids. No liquids

15

minutes before and none until 1 ½ hours after the meal). A scientific test

showed that a meal of egg/toast/milk had almost all emptied out of the pouch

after 45 minutes. Without milk, just egg and toast, more than ½ of the meal

still remained in the pouch after 1 ½ hours.

3. Protein, protein, protein. Three meals a day. No high calorie liquids.

//I was told not to drink with my meals...but I wasn't explained

why...so I drank with my meals. //

That doesn't make any sense. If you were curious why wouldn't you

ask why you couldn't? why would you intentionally NOT follow a rule?

// I was never told to eat as fast as possible...otherwise if you

eat real slow you can eat as much as a non-banded person. //

This is not an entirely true statement. Your are NOT supposed to

eat fast. You are supposed to eat slow and chew chew chew. You

should not eat for more then 20 min because you will be able to eat

as much as you want. The band begins to empy itself and if you eat

slow enough, you can keep refilling your pouch until all your food

is gone. This of course defeats the purpose of the band.

// I was also never explained how to eat....protein first...then

veggies then carbs..//

You must not have done much research because this is plastered over

band sites and in this groups emails as well.

//We get information when we are banded...but just not enough//

It is always good to do extensive research before having major

surgery. Hopefully your experience will show others how not to do

things.

//I went to 's webpage http://tracyslapband.com/index.htm //

This is an amazing tool everyone should go to and use!

//...I think people think you get banded...and boom..you're

skinny...it doesn't work like that.//

Amen

Rosie

Thanks for posting this. I assure you that you are not the only one

Rosie, it sounds to me like you need a fill, there is absolutely no way that I can eat and drink. If I drink with my meal my food comes back up. You also might be eating the wrong foods. Protein, Protein, Protein, Chicken, meat, veggies, fruit, soups, salads, lean cuisines, water, water, water, once in a while I have ice cream, for snack I have Wheat thins with diced tomatoes. On my bad days, I stay away from food all together and have sobe drinks and water, and soups. My weakness is chips and dips and I usually have a few at parties and that is it. The key is stop eating when you feel full, if you aren't getting full then a fill is needed. I hope this is a little helpful.

I recommend the Jessie Ahroni book and reading this site to get all the

tips you missed out on. I started reading this site about 3 months

before I was banded, got the Ahroni book, read 's webpage and heard

all of the suggestions you missed by doing that.

Rosie, Hi. You stated that you were told not to drink with your meals but because you weren't told WHY you went ahead and drank with your meals anyway. You were told to eat as fast as possible?? But, you must chew, chew, chew...that doesn't allow you to eat as fast as possible. Also, you said you were never told how to eat...protein, veggies, carbs..I do not understand how that is possible. I haven't even been banded yet and I know all of this. I don't know who did your band but from what I have learned here all the correct information is given out by Dr. A and his crew. But, as you know, it is up to each individual to follow or not follow, the rules. Gonzal<roanch@...> wrote: I have a comment for everyone that has been banded or is thinking about being banded.

This is my opinion...does anyone else agree?Rosie> >> > Dawn> > > > After you know you got your money for sure you will mail a deposit > of> > $500 to Nina or an address she gives you, to secure your date, she> > will have probably all ready given you some dates depending on the> > doctors sechudle.> > > > From what I was told, you will not need a passport until 2008 unless> > you are directly flying into Mexico.> > > > I'm having my RNY Gastric By Pass on the 10th, we are flying into > San> > Diego on the 8th being picked up by a driver and driven either to > the> > hotel first or hospital first (this part I'm not sure about) at the> > hospital they will do some pre op

Food fight? Enjoy some healthy debatein the Answers Food Drink Q&A.

January 16, 2007

I just had a fill..I needed it...I just didn't realize it...I also cannot

drink while eating right now after my fill...but before that I could. I was

definetely eating the wrong foods...that's why I say everyone really needs

to be informed. After my fill...I feel a huge difference....now I can only

eat a little bit..but I am now forcing myself not to drink AT ALL close to

my meal times...even though its hard because I do crave water with my meals.

Now if I could just get my butt exercising...I'm sure I'd loose even more

but for some reason I haven't been able to get motivated enough...every day

I say Im going to do it...and every day I don't. I just want everone to

realize the band doesn't work if you don't work with it...I'm a perfect

example...I'll keep you guys posted on my progress now that I'm changing my

ways...
