I think that is fantastic and am very happy for you! While you are in surgery I will be having my pre-op testing on the 15th. I have been eating a few more things that were "forbidden" in the past 6 months. My surgeon does not require a strict pre-op diet right before the surgery, but I think I'll stick to protein to make sure my liver doesn't get in the way of the procedure. I have been spending my evenings getting my house and kitchen prepared to come home from the hospital. I suppose I am nesting a bit. :confused: Best of luck to you and I look forward to hearing about how well you did! -

I am so excited! I got approved a whole month before I thought I was able to send my stuff to the ins company. I am scheduled to have my band on April 23 with Dr. Wilcox in Sewickley, Pa. When the doctor's office called me at work I was almost in tears. I felt like I had won the lottery. I have worked so hard on the 6 month diet. I lost 35lbs. I am so ready for this procedure. I hope I am as successful as all the other dedicated people on this website. This site has been an inspiration to me throughout the entire process. Please wish me luck as I begin the rest of my life in less than 2 weeks. -
02/21/10-I am down 30lbs from beginning my pre-op diet on November 1, 2009. My end date for the six month diet is April 30th. It has dragged on forever. I will be so glad to be done and have a decision on my surgery. I have an interim surgery on March 17th, which I hope will break up the monotony of all of this dieting and give me a couple of days off to just be a bum. I need to hit the gym for the last couple months to be sure I hit the numbers I need for approval.
I am tired of how strict I have had to be with almost no carbs and all protein. But, it's the only way I can lose weight. I am so hopeful that I will be approved. If I don't I'm not sure what I will do to get to where I need to be???? I'm trying to stay positive.
