    After being approved

    It's going to depend on the pre-op requirements of your doctor. Some require a 4 week pre-op diet, some a 2 week, and some a single day. For me, I was approved on December 30. My doctor called on Jan 6 and I was scheduled for Jan 20. It went quickly! Good luck!!
  2. Day 2 Post Op. Day 1 was ROUGH with dry heaves but better now. Looking forward to day 3. :)

  3. Only ONE MORE DAY to go then it's surgery time! Hoping tomorrow flies by!

    new and very scared

    I'm Michigan as well (Midland/Bay City/Saginaw) and am working with Hurley Bariatric in Flint. My experience has been very positive. They've been very friendly, professional and efficient. They've walked me through the entire process. My Lap-Band surgery is scheduled for Tuesday Jan 20 and I'm very excited! Good luck to you!
  5. Day 5 Pre-Op Diet and REALLY wanted to scrap the bowl of my son's leftover spegetti but I fought it off! Yay for me! 6 more days!

    Vitamins...

    My doctor recommended (and I bought) my calcium chewables (and other supplements) from celebratevitamins.com. I thought they were priced reasonable, fast shipping.

      Thanks! Wow, 4 weeks! That'd be tough!! You did it though! Great job!

  10. Got my surgery date! January 20! Tomorrow is nutrition class and the start of my liquid diet!

  11. I learned today that my insurance company has approved my surgery. Now I'm just waiting for a call from the doctor's office with my pre-op nutrition class and surgery date. I'm not nervous for the surgery but I'm nervous about the pre-op diet. Over the past 2 months, I've been trying to go on a liquid or reduced calorie diet in preparation for the pre-op diet but I keep failing horribly. I get so hungry that I cave in and eat more than I should or things that I shouldn't. I'm worried about my ability to stick with the pre-op diet. So my question to those who have been through it is how did you prepare, mentally or otherwise? Any tips or suggestions for getting ready for it or getting through it? Thanks!
  12. APPROVED!! Happy New Year! Hopefully will learn surgery date next week. Couldn't be more excited!
