Coming to you from Toronto Canada, we don't have coverage for this up here, so investing $16,000 on ME! I am booked for April 4th. Just finishing 3rd day of preop which for me is 3 Protein Shakes per day for a total of 750 cals. Can also have up to 250 cals of select green veggies, but so far I have stuck to celery. Can't wait to be referred to as "skinny" LoL

Wow Some how I was lucky enought to have my insurance pay the whole thing. The only thing is I have to go 7 hours to and from the surgery the same day but they are driving me there and back. I just don't want to be in a lot of pain for the trip home. Good luck to you!

Hi moonlited. I'm getting my band in April...the 12 to be exact. I also live in the bay area of California but I am going to Mexico to get mine.

My mom had hers done in Mexico...great doctor, great service, beautiful facility etc...everything was going good til it slipped. Then US doctors refused to work on it. Different band they put in and liability reasons. HAD to have it removed as she was sooo sick! In hospital etc...took it out, it was stamped "sample not for use."

Not telling you not to get banded, I will be banded in April...just know the Mexican one can save a couple $ but long term it can be devastating.

      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.
