I had my consultation, psych eval, and nutritional consultation all yesterday. I really liked everyone in the office, including Dr. Cavazos. He was just awesome! We got along really well. He's super down-to-earth and realistic. He thinks I am a great candidate for lap-band, and since I am self-pay, we can do my surgery as soon as I am given the O.K.--but the surgery day will most likely be after October 1 since I won't have the total amount until then.

Very excited about this journey. Can't wait to start.

Okay, so here it is 7 months later and I have most of my $$ for the surgery. It is $12.5K and I have $8K. The other $4.5K will be put on my recently-paid off credit card--but it's a lower interest rate than CareCredit so that's why I'm doing it.

I've notified Dr. Cavazos' office and they've sent all the paperwork. Now I wait for their scheduler to call me. Very exciting!

Just wanted to update.

Dr. Cavasos is a awesome guy. I wish I could chat with him more because he is so down to earth.

I really like his staff too.

      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.
