I went for my last consult with the surgeon yesterday and I am good to go! :biggrin: I am now on my pre-op diet. Low carb, 80-100 grams a day, I am trying to drink the liquid Protein shooters and they make me sick. Yuck! :rolleyes2: The doc said I didn't have to go overboard on the pre-op diet, but I want to be a good girl!:redface: I am beginning to get a little nervous, but I know it will be good! I hope all of you are doing well!

Dear GreatlyBlessed: Your post brought me to tears! I am so glad you have made the choice to live your life. Not only will you be helping yourself, but also your sweet little daughter. In time she will understand that your choices are for her benefit! You are so very young yourself! You deserve to live in confort and feel pride in your body! I can just see you trim and fit! I will look forward to hearing about your journey and keeping up with your progress! I get banded on the 6th. I have been chubby all my life, but never obese until I hit 55. I just didn't "get it" until I truly lost control! Now my eyes see a different side. But there is hope! The band is my hope and I know it is for you also! I will be right here with you! Best of luck to you, sweetie! You will be in my prayers!

:biggrin2:Sometimes people use an old list to add their names, but that is ok, I can fix it.

:cheers2:Good Luck! :cool2: I Have Cigna also and I was so excited :Dancing_biggrin:when I got the word that they had approved me! I will be banded on June 6 in Kingsport, TN. I am getting the new Realize band! I can't wait!:thumbdown: Keep us posted and be sure to visit the June 2008 thread and put your name on the list! It is a good group and growing by the day!

KathyStrick looks like you are still alone and so is Rhonda! Wonder why! I bet it gets loaded up soon!

Great Carrie! Welcome! I will update the list! My date is the 6th and I am so excited!

I went to my last consult with the surgeon today! It is ready to go! Dr. Kramer will do my surgery and he will be proctored by Dr Jamie Ponce! One of the world experts in banding, actually represents Realize. I will get the new Realize band, which has less complications, they say, and better port, better restriction, less erosion. I won't need to spend the night:thumbup: in the hospital unless there are complications. I was concerned about that, I am most fearful of MRSA from the hospital, and you are in less danger if you don't stay there. The nurses can carry it going from one room to another. I am so excited! I begin my 2 week low carb diet today, so I stopped and got my last Sonic burger with a bun. I think I will have a "bread funeral" :biggrin2:tonight. I will take a beautiful roll and a slice of bread and have a funeral! :thumbdown: Just kidding... but the thought just cracks me up! I better have a double funeral and have a second casket for cookies! :sad_smile: I do think I will be so happy to have my new body and be able to see my feet that I won't miss the stuff. Actually the more I get away from it the less I miss it! So! here is to protein! Long live the Protein shooters! :cool2:

I am very interted. Keep me posted on the soy shakes. I have milk allergies.

I know I posted a new list and a count of 97 this afternoon at about 2:45 wonder what happened

Hi: My band date is June 6 :thumbup:I am Vocational College Instructor in Tennessee. I was married for 20 years and have been single again for 18 years. :sleep: I have 2 grown children, 2 grandchildren and a new granddaughter on the way! I am excited about surgery! I have always had a weight issue, but it was not bad until I hit the 50s! Now I can't seem to control the needle on the scale! I want to have surgery to feel better and look better! I want to be able to play with the grand children! And maybe a new boy-toy! :sneaky: Opps, my current BF is not going to like that. :eek: Good luck to us all!

Bethany I also have Cigna and I can tell you that your BMI can go up and down, mine did. Acutally it complies with what their reasoning is, that you can loose, but gain back and more. The yo-yo is a plus to get approved. I just found records that gave my weight high at times over a 5 year period, all they require is 2 years. I also had the 6 months with different programs, but found 6 consecutive months. Good Luck!

Welcome and good luck ! I will put you on the June Line up
