I thought about blogging, but not sure I could keep up with it. I enjoyed your blog. I will definitely keep reading yours. It's nice to know someone else is going through what I'm going through. You're about a week ahead of me so now I can see what I have to look forward too. Keep blogging! I'm reading!

I think when you update it on Ticker Factory it automatically updates in your signature.

I was suppose to meet with the dietitian today where I thought they would tell me about the pre-op diet, but he got sick and canceled. I'm now meeting with him on June 7 only a week before my surgery. Is only 1 week on the diet going to be fine? I've read a lot of people have been on it for two weeks before their surgery. I just want to make sure I'm doing evertyhing I can do to make the surgery go without complications.

Hey Junsters! There's a place designated just for us. We can ask questions and keep in touch with all our June Buddies. June 10 Bandsters - LAP-BAND

I know my company wants to take it away as a benefit. Only a couple of people have had some sort of bariatric surgery, but they want to take it away. I'm just glad that I'm getting mine done before they make any of these changes. They say that there are too many complications that can arise and cost the company too much money. I think that's funny since only a couple of people have done it. The costs can't be that much. I would think the benefits of healthier employees would out weigh the initial costs of the surgery.

I'm being banded June 14 and I can't believe how fast the date has come up. I see the dietitian on Tuesday and I have a feeling I'm going to have to start my pre-op diet. No one has mentioned it to me so far, but I'm read in a lot of posts about the pre-op diet. I still have another week of school. I hope my students can handle me on the pre-op diet.

Hi, my name is Shayna and I'm getting the lap bad in a few weeks. I'm getting nervous and excited. I'm looking to forward to getting information and advice from everyone.

I had to go through 3 months with BCBSIL also. I met with my surgeon in February and then had to meet with my PCP for the next 3 months to show that I've been actively trying to lose weight. My surgeon's office knew all of the requirements that my insurance required and helped me through the process. I saw the psychologist a month ago and had all my preliminary labs done. I meet with the dietitian on Tuesday and then have my last meeting with the surgeon & anesthesiologist the following week. The whole process hasn't been that bad, but I'm getting a little nervous for the surgery.

I'm getting banded on June 14 too! I'm meeting with the dietician on Tuesday and I'm interested to see what he says. No one has said anything about a preop diet, but I've read in some posts that some have had to do a 2 week protein shake diet. Anyone else not no anything about this preop diet?
