Straughn

I was banded on Thursday and also have this feeling, I was able to drink some hot tea and keep it down and don't feel to bad now so hoping that is what I was feeling.

Well had the scope done on the 13th and found I have a hernia, the surgeon said he would fix it at the same time doing my band, so I am still on for the 20th. I lost my 10 lbs already but they told me to continue with Protein Shakes and not to have "my last meal" I told them I have already had a couple weeks worth of last meals. I am so excited but also scared, this is such a life change and it seems like I have been waiting forever and forever is here in 4 days. I only know a couple people that have had the surgery so I have really been reading topics here to get support. Lets go Lap Band.......and yes we will succeed.

Finally got my date September 20 I still have to get a scope test down my throat on the 13th but so far so good. I am not enjoying the protein shakes and no carb meals, but they said have to loose 10 lbs before surgery. already had to loose 36 to get approved and that took a year, wish me luck 10 lbs seems impossible, but I have waited to long to screw up now.

I have been 2 years attempting to meet the conditions of my insurance. After changing insurances and doing their requirements for 1 year I just got my approval August 16 and I went to my appointment for my Pre Op diet last week. Started it today, I have my appointment with the surgeon tomorrow, can't wait, will get my date that should be in next two weeks. I am so nervous and excited I can't stand it.
