Tomorrow's the BIG DAY!!! I can't believe its finally here!



Recommended Posts

I can't believe the day is finally here that I've been waiting for, for so long!!! My surgery is at 9:45 tomorrow at St. Agnes in Baltimore, we have to be there 2-hours ahead so that means we'll have to leave home around 5:30am. I live in Delaware, so its about a 2-hour drive, which isn't going to be fun. Trying to get my husband out of bed that earlier, really isn't going to be fun! LOL

I started thinking back when I first started looking into the band, and it was around 2003. It's now 2011, and I'm finally making it happen!! I'm so excited, but so nervous at the same time! I just hope the pain isn't too bad, I'm a big baby when it comes to pain! Anyhow, please keep me in your prayers as I keep all others in mine.

Thanks so much to everyone!!! This site is great for encouragement and support!! For those that are close to your date, best of luck to you! To those who still have a ways to go, just remember we've all been in your shoes and totally understand what its like to wait and wait. In fact, I was suppose to have surgery on May 27th and got a call the week before that said the insurance company denied it. To make a long story short, I had to change doctors and now having my surgery in Baltimore. But in the long run, I'm sure God knows best and that's the way I accepted it. To those who have already been banded, continued success to you!! I'm sure I'll be back on over the weekend, so I'll let you know how things go!!

Thanks a bunch for your support and God Speed to you all!

It's funny but I think I'm nuts if I don't do it.

      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.
