I'm getting banded July 13th..it's actually Friday the 13th and I don't know what to think of that. Trying to be positive and not think too much about it. My dr didn't require me to go on a diet but I'm nervous that I won't know what to do once I'm banded...even though I've been over everything a million times. I just don't want to fail

My surgery date is July 20th. I am excited...but also scared of the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Also apprehensive about complications.

I'm getting banded July 26. Texas Teacher Insurance (BCBS) requires surgeries at only certain centers. I was assigned one closest to me. The surgeon is at that center once per month.

I was hoping for sooner, but I guess this will do. My insurance is paying 80%, so I'm good with that. No major hoops to jump through. Just BMI is taken into consideration to start the process.

I'm getting banded July 26! I'm so excited but I'm so nervous! My dr. has me on a two week pre-op diet. I can't eat anything that has eyes. I guess Protein Shakes will become my new favorite meal.

Mine is Tuesday the 3rd, less than 48 hours!!! I'm scared but excited as well, more afraid of the pain after then the actual procedure itself. But some folks say its not to bad.

I am so lucky, my friends had a pool party for me yesterday, even though I could not enjoy cocktails with them and stuff from the grill. The overwhemling support they showed me brought tears to my eyes. I am a lucky guy. :P

      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.
