LOL that is funny

Congrats! You are awesome!

I just started burping, no gas pain here yet but i bet it will come.

I am not sure of the errosian but i just wanted to say Congrats on the weight loss

Thanks for the information ! I will have my husband pick some of this up for me , I usually hate cottage cheese but if it has that much protien then i will eat it

I got banded on Thursday Nov 6 , so far i am still sore. I am taking the pain medicine every 4 hours bcz i hate pain lol, i am on clear liquid diet for another week which is just broth , water, jello. My dr says no to protien shakes in every page of his instructions so i dont know if that is good or bad.

I just had my banding on Nov 6 , i am still a bit sore but over all ok

Scanlon I have my surgery tommorow also, I am nervous now. I had to take the Phospho-Soda to cleanse myself this morning. It was really gross , I have just been on the liquid diet for a day, today is day 2 and man i give props to the people that have done it for 2 weeks!

Hi girls how many days is everyone doing there liquid diet ? The doctor wants me to do it 2 days ahead of surgery which mine is Nov 6 and on Nov 3 I go for the preop appt :wink_smile: excited but nervous

Congrats :biggrin: I am excited for you!

I am so happy I got approved on friday 10/10 and Tuesday I was given my surgery date. The best of all I dont have to pay out of pocket my insurance is covering most of it and writing off the rest . I am happy but very nervous , I start my liquid diet 2 days before the surgery/ Also the day before I have to drink some soda that I am supposed to get at the pharmacy ,does anyone know how it tastes? !!!

I am getting banded Nov 6 with Dr . Dahiya , I start the liquid diet 2 days before the surgery. I am really nervous, excited and I cant lie i am scared but i know it will be worth it

Congratulations!

Dont worry keep on going ! I just got approved from UHC they submitted in sept 20 and i got approved oct 10 but they doctor put me on managed weight in june :thumbup:

Congrats :thumbup:!!

that is great congrats !

No my husband dosent know either , I just give him like a huge number to throw him off

I am going to a doctor and his consultation is 200.00 is that regular price ? thanks

I had my consultation today, it was me and another lady who is also intrested in having surgery , So the doctor is giving us the option of lapband or gastric, he gave the pros and cons on both, He Highly suggested the gastric better bcz it has a higher success rate. I guess the gastric takes a year to go down to the weight you are supposed to and Lapband takes about 2 years. Now I dont know what to do, how did you guys decide the lapband is for you and not gastric. They said I could pick anything and if i changed my mind I can do the other route but we would have to start from step one (approval from insurance) Can I have some guide, I am completly lost now . What a hard choice!

Everyone thank you so much for all your answers and wisdom You guys are so great! I have learned more from this board in a week then researching in a year I called the doctor and informed him that I would like the lapband instead of gastric due to personal reasons and he was supportive. They are going to submit my paper work next week and hopefully everything goes ok

I know you will do great :tt1: Thanks for posting this bcz it is up to us to make it work I have to realize that :tt1:
