Well I'm sure they know too since you work there. I chose a hospital outside of the one I work at, for privacy. Goodluck.

Hello!! I am being banded on March 9!!!! I have just been waiting and want to get it over as soon as possible. Now that it is getting closer to my date I am getting really anxious and scared. Is anyone else? I know it is defiinetly what I want and need to do.

I am also really anxious but i am also very excited, but once we start to reek the benifits and when its all done we will look back and say what was i so worried about... It will be just fine. I cant wait to finally be getting this done, and so soon I go March 2nd.. Best of luck to you..

No worries Princess, tell your doctor and see if they can write your note on stationary just has his name on it for the letterhead. I am sure they will totally understand when you explain to them you are trying to keep it under wraps for now.

You probably don't have to get a note saying specifically why you will be out of work other than it being a medical reason.. i would think that is against some type of HIPPA laws unless you want to give them the exact medical reason.. not sure, but check with your doctor

You are definitley not a fatty thinking about the last meal.. I am thinking about what I want to eat now that I know I will not be able to have for awhile.. I am thinking maybe pizza before because I heard some people have problems with that..

If having a "last meal" makes u a fatty, I'm a super duper fatty! Lol. I had a "last meal" WEEK! I got in all my favs....Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Popeyes chicken, Taco Bell, and many more! The great part is, it's all outta my system. I start my pre-op diet today, which means my surgery is in 2 weeks. Yahooooo :)

      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.
