So am I!!!!! My surgery date was orginally set for july 28, but I am going to have to push it to Aug. I am in NJ. I am feeling overwhelmed with all the appointments needed before surgery. I know in the end its well worth it, but Jeez!!!! Its not easy working full time and having two kids. I was wondering if you ere feeling the same way?

It is overwhelming with all the appointments. I do think it will be worth the trouble to lose this weight that has been hanging around for way too long! Good luck to you

I am from Allentown! Who's your surgeon??? I don't have a date yet...I meet with my surgeon next Thursday, so I'm hoping to get a tentative date then. I'm hoping for mid-July-early August for my surgery so I have enough time to recover before school starts back up!

Hi, I am from Stroudsburg, hopefully getting banded in August by Dr. Boorse at Lehigh Valley Hospital. I have begun my journey and have committed myself to the process. The hardest part for me is going to be quitting smoking but I have the patch and a date set and I am gonna do it. If you want to chat email: peptalk1@aol.com.

Good luck

My surgeon is Dr. Boorse. I am hoping to have surgery in August because I am a teacher. I may have some problems getting insurance approval because my BMI in 2009 was only 34.5 and I have only been diabetic for about 1 year with a BMI of 36.7 now. Good luck to you too!

I will say a prayer for you tonight and tomorrow. As far as the surgery that was o.k. it was the anthesia (spelling) that made me so sick. Blessings

      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.
