April Bandsters!

[Moonlitedi 24]

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!

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.

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!!!!!

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. ~_^

My main issus will be the traveling 6 hours to and from the surgery the same day. Hope they give me lots of pain meds for the ride home

I'm April 13...yes, Friday 13th. My lucky day!!

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!
