Hi! I'm new to this thread.... I have my date- August 17th! Still need insurance approval- I have Tufts Health Plan. I will finish my 6 month "I can change" program on July 27th. My doctors office said Tufts is usually pretty quick with the approval. I've done everything I was supposed to do. Keeping my fingers crossed! Going on vacation for 2 weeks then coming back to start my 10 day preop liquid diet! I'm totally dreading it!!!

Oh, I am 38 years old, mother of 2 beautiful girls 7 and 9 years old. 5'10" and 285 lbs...ugh!!! Not for long though!!!!

WE are the same age and have the same surgery date!!! Care to be band buddies? Im happy for you . Congrats on the surgery!

I am sooooo irratated!!!:thumbup: I had a date of August 5th, had everything all lined up so that I had someone who could be with me on the day of surgery (they changed some of their plans, by the way) and then the surgeons office calls today and say that the Dr. just decided that he is going to be on vacation that week. WTF!!!!

So now I have to push surgery out two weeks to accomodate his schedule and go through the process of making other arrangements for sugery day.

How freakin' inconsiderate can a person be, should they get their vacation scheduled before they start booking surgery. :mad::tongue2::mad:

Kelking,

That is annoying !! what is your new Date? maybe its near mine? im on the 17th. Well look at it this way, he will or should be well rested.

When I started my 2 week liquid diet, I decided to go ahead and start going to the gym. Anybody else going to the gym?

Started the liquid diet on Monday, and I'm noticing a difference in my energy levels already. Day 2 of it was hard, but now, I'm feeling pretty good.

Hi everyone! I'm being banded on 8/6. I started my liquid diet yesterday. I have been miserable but discovered a good old-fashioned appetite suppressant that has worked miracles for me today!

Tylee, I am also going to the gym but I don't start my liquid diet until tuesday. How is it going? Are you doing ok with it or are you hungry?

I switched up when I drink my Protein shakes. I'm never hungry in the mornings, but I know that I have to have something to eat. That is when I eat a yogurt or some cottage cheese. Then I have a shake for lunch around noon and another one around 3 or 4. Then I can have Soup for supper. When I feel like I'm getting hungry, I will grab a sugar free popsicle. I've found that doing my liquid diet this way has kept the hunger at bay. I also drink so much Water, that I feel like I'm going to float away at times.

It's official!!! Being banded on August 13th! Pre-op testing on the 5th, pre-op diet starts on the 6th!

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone scared silly? I was reading some of the blogs and threads and I had to stop reading because it was scaring the heck out of me.

[jingleboob 5]

definetly DO NOT read the complications board if you're feeling nervous... I made that mistake and now avoid all posts that hint at "bad". Also, avoid the Discovery Health channel.

There are risks to ANY surgical procedure. You could have complications from having your tonsils out! But your life is better not having constantly infected tonsils... just like our quality of life and health will be better once we've dropped the extra weight.

But yes, I am a worry wart by nature and I suspect the couple of days leading up to my surgery will be hard on me and my poor family! But not backing out of this. Too many important reasons to NEED this surgery!

[ddow58 2]

I agree with you, I need to do this too. It's my last resort. I have tried everything else. It's going to be a big adjustment and I guess I'm just worried. Excited at the same time but worried. :smile2:
