Thanks so much for your reply. Was starting to feel ingnored Looks like I will be eating some of the same things my 19 month old does!!! She loves applesauce.

Hi. I am on my pre op diet also. Dang this is hard. I am really hungry. If I were any good at controlling my appetitie I wouldn't be where I am now!!!!!!

Yes I agree with everyone. completly normal. If fact i am in the same place as you. Worked so hard to get everything in place! Now I am starting to freak out a little. This really is scarry!!! But I will find the courage to get it done!!!! My date is April 20th!

high Protein and low carbs

Hello and welcome!!! Good luck on your journey!!

My date is April 20. I am still needing my cardiologist to send approval for the surgery. He has done the testing and verbally told me all is great and he will give approval, but he has yet to give the written approval. I haven't had real problems with True Results. Sometimes the patient co-ordinator is hard to reach and sometimes I feel she should be more helpful. Maybe I am just a little demanding....but I am the patient!

I am being banded at True Results in Houston, my DR is Dr. Ken Hollis

Hello and welcome to Lap Band Talk!!!

No you would need a PB&J!!!!!

Hello and welcome to this forum. Thanks for your honesty. I am glad you are here!!!

My BMI is 32 and i am going the self pay route. I am not waiting until I have a BMI of 35-40 which is where I am heading. I have high blood pressure, take two meds for that. Extreme lower back pain and knee pain. Diabetes also runs in my family. Good luck!

Welcome to lap band talk. I am 54 yrs old and will be banded on April 20, 2011. Just starting to get nervous!

I am so very happy all is well now. I was really nervous because my story is almost exactly the same as yours and my surgery is scheduled for April 20th. I have right at 50 pounds to loose (maybe a little more) and am a self pay. Sometimes i am so scared, but mostly I just know I have to get this done so I can live and enjoy my life again. I have very high blood pressure, take two different meds for that, and tons of lower back and knee problems. I am 54 years old and raising 4 grandkids, one is just 19 months old so I need to run around like I am 25 again!!

Please let us know how you are doing. I am sorry you are having so much pain.

Yes yes yes!!!! I got clearance from my cardiologist today!!!! i am scheduled for April 20th!! I am so excited!!

I am in Houston and using True Results. I paid the $150 to them and that was for the blood work which was done at Quest Diagnostics.

I paid $150.

I am looking to talk with others in their 50's that either are trying to be banded or already have the band. I am a 54 year old lady in Houston Texas. I am a self pay and just trying to get cardiologist approval at this time. I would like to hear back from others in this age group. If you are in Texas even better!!! Thanks

Welcome to our forum. It is a great place!

Yes 48 is close enough. I have told one good friend and one family member. Both are mostly against the surgery but I am getting it anyway just as soon as my Doc says OK!!!
