I have a tentative surgery date of May 9th. I still have to do the endoscopy which is scheduled for May 3rd. If it shows I have a hernia then I will have to wait until May 16th :angry: so that the dr's office can get clearance from the insurance co. to repair the hernia and do the band at the same time. I'm soooo anxious!

i hope to be banded in may. dr. office submitted to insurance after last nutrisionst class on March 30 still waiting to hear from them. I called Mon. to find out what i needed to do and tell them my last 6 month will be Thurs. they said go ahead and fax dr records to their office but they already sumitted to insurance and they havent requested 6 months records yet. I was shocked i thought they needed my 6 months first. i guess they thought they would send it upon request. idk. im so excited and hope to be approved soon and get a may date.

My surgery has officially been scheduled for May 17th. I start my pre-op diet on May 3rd. I am very excited. Did any of you have a "last Meal"? My dietician told me that she didn't reccomend it because I will be getting food back, but I feel I want to have one last really good meal before I start the liquid diet.< /p>

Thanks, Michelle

I had SEVERAL last meals. I had them for about a week solid! what can i say, i was in panic mode.

my surgery is May 4th and I don't know how much weight i gained during my last week of meals, but i'm 15 pounds below what i weighed at the last visit to the doctor's office, so that is what counts (for me).

i'm glad i had that quality time to spend with burgers, pizzas, steaks, fajitas, etc...i will cherish those memories of the last time i was able to eat without chewing first. :P

      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.
