I'm back! For some reason I couldn't log on. Thanks for all of the well wishes. Surgery went great! The pain is mostly controlled. I've been up and walking the entire time. I was so worried but everything was perfect! Now I can't wait for my first adjustment. I'm so ready for a new life :)

I am having the lapband with plication in the morning...well, my lapband coordinator called yesterday telling me they were having wonderful results with the plication. One patient came in yesterday that had the surgery two weeks ago...with the weight from the preop diet and two weeks out...the patient had lost 40 lbs! I am even more excited about the plication now.

Now i'm even more annoyed that my doc won't do plication for me :wacko:

I kept asking him about it but he said no. Also, my insurance won't cover it (Wellmark) :angry:

Seems i'm reading more and more about the miracles of plication and i'm bummed that its not in the cards for me

Still on for surgrey next Wednesday the 15th BUT stil waiting and waiting and waiting for ODS insurance approval. My paperwork was submitted last Friday. This has been the hardest part of my 9 month journey to be banded so far. I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't given me an ulcer! I am such not a fan of the "unknown".

Good luck to everyone having surgrey today and tomorrow!!

If you look up at the top right by your name there is a drop down box. Click on "my profile". Where the picture is on the upper left corner, hover mouse over it and it will say "upload picture" or "change". Click on that and it will prompt you to upload your pic. Hope this makes sence ;)

plication=folding, so in this context the surgeon literally "folds" your stomach (using stitches) reducing it's volume

      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.
