Wow! I can't believe my surgery date is here. I am super excited and nervous all at the same time! My band has been super tight today. I guess my nerves have really tightened it. Wish me luck!

Good luck to you! you will look amazing!! I'll be in surgery about 5 hours. For the TT I'll have the hip to hip horizontal incision AND a vertical incision to improve my upper stomach. It's kind of freaky isn't it!!!!

I was a self pay. $15500.00 thus far. I did end up staying overnight in the hopital because the surgery ended up taking 6 hours!!! My sister works in the surgical practice so my ps went above and beyond to give me the best result. I ended up agreeing to a vertical incision so he could shape my upper abdomen as well and tighten the muscles there as well as the lower. I'm only 30 hours post op and can see an awesome reslt. Wow! I'm speechless!!!!

      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.
