Hi Everyone! I'm new to the site. Waiting for Insurance approval, and I'm so Excited. Been trying to get my chewables and Protein powders figured out, there are so many options. Been looking for support groups in Vegas and can't find any, so if anyone knows of any please reply.

Lastly if anyone has any tips for pre-op and post-op that would be helpful, please share with me :thumbup:

I LOVE Vegas!!! Unfortunately I'm not from there, I'm from the frozen arm pit of Idaho :blushing:

But, DH and I will be in Vegas next weekend. I can hardly wait! He's never been there but I visited several times. I am literally counting down the hours.

I am not banded yet either. I dropped off all the paperwork and regular doctor history to the New U center at the hospital today so I'm crossing my fingers!

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and welcome!

Hi Denise, my name is Annie. Congratulations on getting your surgery! I can't wait to get my Insurance approval, I'm SO ready. I go to Dr. Umbach's office. How are you feeling? Which Hospital did you go to? Did you have to stay overnight? Did you have to join the gym?

Hope to hear from you soon!:blushing:

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
