Interesting... from what Marie said to me, I understood that I could have 'a cup of steamed veggies' in addition to my 3 Optifasts. To be honest... I haven't had more than 2 Optifasts and no veggies (a day) at all in a week. I just can't do it.

They changed my surgery time. It was supposed to be at 11, and I was supposed to be there at 10. Now, I think it's at 10:40, and I have to be there at 9:40. So you must be just before me! Cool.

No, I don't know who that would be.

Are you a member of the 'canadianlapbanders' yahoo group? You should join, if you're not. There's lots of Cobourn patients and lots of people from Ontario. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/canadianlapbanders/

Well I called Marie yesterday, and My surgery is at 8:00am Mar. 29; I will

be there at 7:15am. That means there are 2 others besides you and I.

She told me there were 4 for tommorrow.

Do I go to the same location were I went for my previous appointments?

Have lost 25 lbs on the liquid in 2 weeks, craving carbs right now.

I always loose quick ... not so good at sticking to the plan.

My wife will be with me so I should be on my way back to Streetsville by

12:30 to 1:00PM.

Just rambling.

Yes I said Hi! Argon

Everything went well and I am recovering nicely. Feeling a lot better

than yesterday. I was pretty groggy when I saw you. I was really

impressed with the staff and Doctor.

Just had my first 1/2 cup of chicken broth.

Hello, I am looking into having the lap band surgery done, and am trying to find out if there is anyway to have the surgery covered by OHIP. Does anyone Know?

No, OHIP won't cover anything, from what I've heard from everyone else.

Sorry :|

In the User CP, go to edit signature

in that blank space is where you would enter your ticker info. Mine looks kind of like this :

but without all the spaces.

Hope that helps!

      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.
