I'm so happy for you !! I'm just beginning this process myself. Unfortunately my insurance excludes this procedure, so I am having to come up with the money. Hopefully I won't be too far behind you, maybe September by the time I complete my surgical consults, etc., and pay off a couple of bills so I can pay for my surgery. Again, congrats and good luck to you !!

Way to go- it took me a year- I was turned down four times by my insurance, I cried and fussed then dusted myself off and tried again until I was successful. Banded May 24th and so far loving it. First fill July 9th can’t wait. Good luck to you and keep posting your questions. The people on here are great even when the questions has been asked 20 times LOL

      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.
