hi ! I made it thru the sleep study. I took a sleeping pill before I left home, by the time I was all hooked up I was ready to sleep. Didnt wake up until about 5 something. It was great at Atlanta Hospital. Got home before 6:30. Thanks for asking. I get to go sign my consents tomorrow with Betty. I closed on my loan today, should have the money by next tuesday, and surgery friday... My parents bought me a present, two boxes of the 8pack of slim fast LOL. That was sweet of them. Cant wait to be banded ! ! ! !

I will try the ff catalina. Going for my sleep study soon. I am gonna count it now... 5 days preop done. Yea. It is getting easier. I cooked for my family tonight and tomorrow nights dinner. Did it while drinking my slim fast.

4 days down, salad made me feel a little sick last night, i think i ate too much. fat free dressing is bad. couldnt eat that. having the sleep study tonight, it was approved yesterday by my insurance, will only owe 406.00 for it. i go in thurs to see betty and sign consents. cant wait to get this done ! Just having problems with family wanting me to cook for them. they are spoiled rotten. i hate drinking Water too. thanks for your replies and support. t

thank you all. I am going today to see if the sleep study precert was approved. The study is tomorrow night. I am having it in atlanta. it was the quickest place to get in. i am self pay but trying to get my insurance to pay for the sleep study, at least 80% of it. Taking my slimfast with me today, i will be driving in the linden area. That should help ! I never thought i would be so excited to eat a salad. woohoo.

thanks again for the words of support. I was out all day yesterday until midnight seeing patients, i had to stop by once to get a slimfast. it was soooooo hard driving by sonic and mickeyd's, etc. I did it though. Yea me. Tonight I had to cook, did okay, just tasted the potato soup i made, will freeze some of it for a later day! This is hard, but I am doing it alot better than I ever thought. almost 3 days down. Weighed a few minutes ago, just couldnt help it. I am going to wait now till Friday to weigh or maybe even later. I am struggling with that too. one question, did everybody have to get a sleep study? everyone have a good week ! T

Thank you for the postop diet update. I might as well tell it now, I am a hospice RN, when i read the thread I couldnt help but let you know. if I can help in any way Lisa, just ask. Every patient is different but when it is your family, it is harder. Tomorrow is my first day in this journey, the preop diet. Nice to know there are so many here to help me out. Will try to get me a ticker too. What a great idea. Surgery date: 9/7/07

Sorry.... I meant anyone LIVE in Texarkana and go to the support meetings in Texarkana....

thank you all for your post of support. sugarbear... the diet you described sounds much better than what i had heard. i thought i would be on clear liquids for alot longer. I start friday with the preop. i bought my slimfast and jello today. I started walking on my dusty old treadmill yesterday. I am getting psyched up! I am counting down to sept 7th ! I definitely will be needing all of your support. Anyone else from Texarkana? Again, thank you ! tp:whoo: surgery date 9-7-07

thank you! I am so excited that now i can post on here. I know that i am not having my surgery at wadley, i picked the surgery center, but there are two places in texarkana. by the way, i live in texarkana. I am nervous about the whole thing but cant wait to get started. I would love some advice about the post op diet. they havent given me that diet yet. how are you doing gloharmar with your post op? t

hey, new here. Just got a surgery date for sept 7th. I have been waiting three years for this. I gave up on insurance, gonna self pay. can anyone tell me which surgery center Dr K uses? I forgot to ask. I have enjoyed reading all your messages. I cant wait to be a bandster too. I start my preop diet friday. t:)

hey all. I have been trying to get the lapband for three years now. I have finally given up on insurance paying for it. I am going to self pay. I see the dr. monday and hope to get a date set. I still have to get a sleep study. Dont understand that why i need that when i am paying for it. Oh well... i am so excited! Will continue to be looking on here for support. I am scared of the preop and post op liquid diet too. Finally, i can see light at the end of the tunnel. t:whoo:
