Congratulations! Be sure and keep us posted on your progress. Everyone here is so supportive, it can really help through any rough spots... but lets just hope you don't have any of those :confused:

Congrats! March 8th will come very quickly! Where are you having your surgery at? Do you have to do a pre-op diet?

I'm waiting (impatiently!) to schedule a date, but I'm hoping for early March.

Good Luck!

Thanks girls for the support !! I am having my surgery in Monmouth County NJ....DR Boreo. He really seems to prefere by-pass but after our conversation he knew i had made the right decision for me. He seems to lean toward by -pass for those who are in a big hurry and wanting fast results. So I felt very confident with him after our first meeting. I have my date but not the final ok from insurance so i am holding my breath for that one !! So far they have told me not to worry that horizon B/S & B/C are band friendly !! Count down time !!

Good Luck! My daughter and I are having ours done this coming Friday in Monterrey, Mexico. My insurance doesn't cover anything to do with weight loss....it's ALL COSMETIC..yeah right! Anyway, I'm forking out the bucks but hey...if it works as well for us as it has for all the others I've been reading about, it will be MORE than worth it...my dad's inheritance will be well spent :P

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers...will keep you posted on our surgery and progress.

      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.
