Dr J seems to be a popular guy in the Dallas area right about now. MsJoy (my wife) is going in for her stress test tomorrow (12-15) and if that is good, Dr J's scheduler has her penciled in for the 28th. Dr J was really nice and his PA, Arlene (I think) was fantastic. She and I got into a "discussion" about doing hernia surgery at the same time as the lap band...LOL

Just got back from a fill with Dr Jay and he is great. He sat and talked about everything before we started, explained how and why things are done and never made me feel silly. He's a cool cat!

Spydr, MsJoy has her date, Dec 28th at 7:15 am at Pine Creek Medical Center, out off of Harry Hines. She did the stress test today and everything was fine, cleared for surgery.

Sounds like MsJoy will be the first of the day. I went to Medical City Dallas and was in by 6:15a, surgery at 7:15 and I was home by 1p. Good deal!

Works for me, we'll have a two hour drive to get back home. I guess I can tie her over the front fender like a field dressed deer. What do you think? *grin*

You're both right...I'm from southeast Texas! Actually, I was thinking of having her a nice comfy pillow and maybe an air mattress in the back of the Explorer. She could climb in and nap all the way home. What do you think?

MyKds - If you don't mind, what itty bitty town is that? I may surprise you with where I'm from.

That would be Ferris? I have paid a traffic ticket or 2 there! I'm from Corsicana.

I told my wife I should have added, "and it isn't Ferris." I live in Fairfield, but I was born in the old Corsicana Hospital.

      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.
