Anybody being banded July of 2012?



Recommended Posts

I know it's a long time from now, but I'm so excited I just want to know if anybody else will be banded when I am next year ! laugh.gif am going to the OCC in Tijuana, because I can't afford self pay here in the states, and I don't have great insurance with my company. I'm only 23 years old and SO NERVOUS but i'm ready to be happy with myself, for the first time in my life biggrin.gif I hope to meet new people,and learn alot of new things !

I wish I was being banded in February unsure.gif I have to wait until July because I figured that would give me enough time to save all of the money for the trip,passports,and everything else I'll need to do before then, not to mention pay it all off. I'm 23, I work from home and I don't have any help financially so i'm trying to save up about 6-7,000 on my own,from scratch. I hope to make a big dent in it come tax time though, who knows maybe i'll get to go sooner ! biggrin.gif As of now it's on the calendar for July 16th.

Oh and Congrats on your upcoming banding ! I'm soo excited :)

i hope to be banded in fev 2012..y so far??

      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.
