Cathy, I'm starting to get a little inpatient, Last night to my surprise, I got a call from the surgeons office, saying I have a 9:30 appointment

on 9/7/10. I hope he will be submitting my paper work then. I hope a pray. My last visit with him I was told to have my PCP to Fax all my weigh ins for the last pass two years. Today I had an appointment with her, and I was told she did fax the papers to him. After he submit the paper work then I'll be nervous until I see if I'm approved or not. Oh well we will see.

I just got my letter from my heart specialist. Now I'm ready in one week to put in my paper work. I probably won't be banded in September. Time is going so slow!!

Well, its less than 12 hours for me now...I can't wait! The nervousness is setting in, but the excitement is taking over. I had my last pre-op shake about 6pm for dinner, and been chugging Water ever since until midnight....

I had my pre-op appt yesterday, with blood draw, EKG, and Lovenox. Anyone else have to inject the blood thinners the night before surgery and daily for a week after? Surgery is scheduled for the 8th. I am now at 225.7, down from all time high of 235.5 lbs. The nurse asked me yesterday why I didn't seem excited. I guess because I was nervous and cranky on low carb liver diet. Hope everyone else is doing well. Good luck to all 1st weekers. Thinking about all of you and am looking forward to your first postband posts.

Hi Wanna.B. I know this liquid diet is really hard the 1st week but the 2nd week does not seem so bad...maybe my body is used to STARVING!!!:thumbup:

My friend had to also do this diet for as long as us, I am guessing each Dr. has their way of doing things pre-surgery.. I am wondering if after band if you still get the same hunger pains as we do now....anyone??
