B- minus 11 hours......Yes, folks, I have 11 hours until I have to be at the hospital for my surgery!

I have to be at Palms of Pasadena Hospital on St Pete Beach/ Gulfport tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. I am 4th in line for the surgery. I am so nervous I don't know what to do with myself. I haven't had my last supper yet, but I will soon. Have packed my little bag and am almost ready to roll. It takes an hour to get to the hospital so my son Tommy is going to sleep over and drive me down there in the morning. Alarm is set for 5:00 a.m.

Good Luck Greekie!!!! I was banded at Palms of Pasadena on Friday the 3rd. They were AMAZINGGGG!!!

Who is your surgeon??? I had Dr Rehnke. If you have him, they tried to send me home WITHOUT pain meds and it was a BAD idea. MAKE SURE YOU GET PAIN MEDS!!!!

But everyone in the surgical team was so incredible!!! Best of Luck to you :)

Good luck all!Mine is Friday, as long as I am feeling up to it... I find out tomorrow whether I have a bacterial or a viral infection. I'm thinking it might be best to postpone the surgery, but I'm afraid that if I do, I will end up never having it done. nonod.gifbored.gif. Wish me luck that I am feeling better in time to have the surgery!

      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.
