Moonlitedi 24 Posted March 17, 2012 Hey Ladies and Gents! Having my Surgery done April 4th. Starting my Pre op diet tomorrow. They said Protein shake for Breakfast, small low fat/sugar lunch, Protein Shake for dinner until surgery. Any suggestions for the low fat/sugar lunch suggestions? Im heading down to LA to get it done. They will arrange for me to be driven to and from there as I live in San Jose, Ca. My hubby is going to come with me for support. Hopefully they will give me enought pain meds for the ride home. Heh Woot! I'll be a Hollywood starlet by next summer haha! So who else is getting banded in April? I could use a band-buddy for my journey! 3 FutureCRNA, dadam03 and MagsMead67 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Band-Tastic 2 Posted March 17, 2012 I'm April 3. Getting really anxious. My Dr. didn't put me on a pre-op diet. He just suggested to eat light the week prior to surgery. But I started my Vitamins n Protein Shake today. 1 Moonlitedi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FutureCRNA 3 Posted March 18, 2012 Hello Good Afternoon, I am scheduled to be banded 4/17 pending insurance approval. I have all my ducks in a row and paperwork needed. I'm just a bundle of nerves awaiting the approval letter. I have always been told there is power in the tongue, so I am speaking it into existence. Despite my own positive reinforcement I have a nagging voice saying....."what if...... What if......"!!!!!! Help any soothing words I'll take!!!!! 3 Moonlitedi, lisaholland73 and Jepegurl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moonlitedi 24 Posted March 18, 2012 I know how you feel future that was me the last month lol. I kept bugging them... "Did I get approved now.....how. 'bout now...lol." Then the day comes when u hear "you got approved" and a big sigh of relief comes lol. Good luck and you will be approved before no time. Just keep yourself busy in the mean time. ~_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GuateMom6 3 Posted March 21, 2012 I just got my approval on Friday which was about 2 months ahead of schedule as my insurance changed their requirments and did away with the 6 month supervised diet. I am scheduled for April 26 and getting excited and feeling optimistic! 1 Moonlitedi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
