My name is Jenn and I will be Banded on March 31, 2010. I just found out this week that my insurance approved the surgery when the surgeon's office called to set the date. I'm going through a whole range of emotions, but I am certain this is the right thing for me.

I'm a 34 year old, high school journalism teacher. I'm four classes away from having my master's degree in guidance counseling, and will be pursuing a job as a counselor next year.

I'm single and no children, but I am the proud mama to a 3 year old Bassador (Basset Hound/Lab mix) named Earnee.

Good Luck! How exciting so much is going well for you. March 31 is my daughter's birthday, so I know that will be a good day and you will be blessed. I am hoping to get banded sometime in April/May. Keep us posted on your sucess.

Forgot to mention that I read your profile and noticed you live in Louisville, KY. I lived there for awhile and moved in 2008 to Florida. My daughter still lives there. In April I will be visiting Louisville to graduate from Sullivan University. Good Luck to you!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
