Hi ladies! Another Feb bandster here!! I was submitted to approval on Tuesday and within an hour and a half the surgeons office called me and said I was APPROVED!!! I still can't believe it. My date is Feb 3rd so it looks like I may be the first of us in the month eek!!

I started a blog with my journey - it's in my signature. Please follow my journey and I would love to follow all of you as well. That way we can see what we are experiencing at the same time, work out our frustrations and more :) The more support the better I think!!

Happy New Birthdays to us!!

February 8th for me! I can't believe its finally here...and now I'm finding myself counting down the days! We all need to stick together for sure and let everyone know how we are doing!! I just got work taken care of today...If all goes well I shouldn't even be out ..since I work part time. The shitty thing about it is that my boyfriend wanted to plan this nice night at a hotel for us for valentines day and its all you can eat and drink- that most DEF. won't be happening now! Oh well this in the long run will be soo worth it so its okay!! smilielol5.gif

I am also hoping for a February band date! My surgeon's office told me they submitted my insurance information on Friday - now they have 2 weeks to respond. As soon as I hear I will schedule my surgery and start my 2 weeks of Protein Shakes. I completed everything...and even had an EGD I didn't know I needed on Thursday.

Looks like a great group here too...super excited to be a part of the February bandsters!

Hi - my surgery date was originally scheduled for Jan. 18 but I had to postpone it to Feb. 1st. Work has been crazy and I knew I wouldn't have been able to relax with all that was going on. I told my boss I am not postponing it again! I had my EGD last Wednesday...according to doctor...very large hernia...so I will be so glad not to have to take meds for that...I take two heartburn meds a day and plus pop Tums throughout the day...absolutely annoying! Has anyone had a bad reaction to Propofol? They gave it it me for my EGD and that night I was so violently ill. It was scary. Anyway, looking forward to getting this started! Yay - February bandsters!

I know there's a special section for this, but it doesn't seem to be too popular so I'll give it a whirl here..

Anyone here to be banded in February besides me?

My surgery date is February 15th.

Feel free to add me on Facebook for support, etc. =]

      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.
