Hello Zendada,
Thanks for the well wishes. I am doing my low carb, low fat and low everything else diet right now! lol! This is not so bad, but tomorrow, I will be on a 24hr clear liquid diet! yikes! I just hope by not having food, it won't make me want to vomit! I've tried to do this once before and for some reason I got very sick on the stomach! How are you doing?
Please keep me posted on your status and take care.

Hello,
My fiance' is overly excited about my surgery. He is going to have it also, but his insurance is requiring him to do the 6 months of supervised dieting before he can advance forward. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have gotten this far with having the surgery. He said that he wants to see me happy and he knows that I am an angry fat person! LOL! I hope being at a normal weight will also help with my bad attitude!LOL!

mandie175lbs replied to IndioGirl55's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Thanks for the boost! You look great! I'm getting my band on August 25,2010. I hope I have a success story to share when it's all said and done. Take care! -
Hello Guys, My name is Mandie, I have posted on other August boards, so I figured, why not post here too. My surgery date is Agust 25,2010. I am going through my week of high protein, low carbs, low fats, low calorie foods. I only have to do one day of liquids the day before my surgery and after surgery, I will be on 3 weeks of liquids. I purchased the Boost High Protein drink (vanilla and chocolate). I think that I am going to do a laxative Sunday morning (August 22nd) just because I am generally a constipated person and the thought of straining after surgery freaks me out. lol! Anyway, I know that's too much information, but it's definitely something that I am concerned about. You Guys, I want a ticker! Can someone please explain to me how to set this up and running??

I'm Approved! :thumbup:Surgery date is August 25, 2010! I am so excited! I start the low carb, low fat, low calorie, high protein diet today. I am doing this a week before the surgery. The day before the surgery, I have to do a strict liquid diet and NO food or drink after 12! That's going to be a long day and rough night! lol! My doctor want to try a fairly new procedure on me where she's making only one incision through the belly button.... Lord! I am so scared to do this! Why try something NEW on ME! Anyway, I told her that I would be willing to try this new procedure. Dr. Pryor helped design this procedure.... I sure hope she knows what she's doing.

Thanks Girlfriend! I just got back from the beach on Monday and I swear, I ate everything that wasn't breathing!
I knew that I was starting something new, but I guess I panicked and just started eating. lol! Well, it's out of my system now and I'm ready for the new me and new way of thinking. I am so ready to get this surgery over with! I hope the 3 weeks of liquids post-op don't kill me! lol! I'm going to start Atkins today to try to get a few pounds down before my surgery date.
I see that you are still in the fight. I wish you and everyone else nothing but the best. Take care and keep in touch!

Doctors said that I didn't weigh enough today :(

I'm Approved! Finally! Surgery date August 25, 2010! -
I am so pissed! I finally went in today for my initial visit and the doctors told me that I don't weigh enough! I am so sick of this! I really need to have my surgery before July so that I won't have to pay a deductible of $600! I know this sounds stupid, but is it possible to gain 30lbs in about a week or two weeks at the most? The doctors kept saying that they weren't telling me to go out and gain weight and that if I still wanted to have the surgery in the future to come back if my weight changes. He also said that if my weight was where it needed to be today that they could have had me schedule for surgery in the next couple of weeks! I just wonder, just how much weight can I gain in one week. My BMI is at 35, he said that it needed to be at 40. I don't really understand how they calculate BMI, but this is so depressing! What can I do guys to gain about 30lbs in the next week or so? Or should I just give up on trying to have this surgery submitted to my insurance company by July?
