It's normal to be nervous. I was the same way as I was being wheeled into surgery I was second guessing myself. But things turned out fine. I have lost 20 lbs. since surgery. You will do just great. The surgery center at True Results has a wonderful staff. Very caring. Keep us posted on your surgery date.

I am using True Results and Dr. Riley was my dr. I have been really happy for the most part. I liked Dr. Riley...except that I only saw him immediately before my EDG and my actual band/hernia surgery. Once I've been banded I have not seen him again...instead I go the "clinic" and work with the nurse practioners--they are the ones who do the fills/unfills. I will warn you...that scheduling an appointment can be difficult...especially if you work and need an appointment after 3:00--they only do those on Thursdays. The amount of wait time is really crazy...I have waited up to an hour between the waiting room and in the individual "fill/adjustment" room. And...oh the traffic is horrid--especially if you happen to have an appointment on a day when there is a Texans game or if it's Rodeo time--my last appointment was the first pre-season Texans home game and it took me 2 hours to get back to Katy.

Don't get me wrong...I love my band and the ladies at the center are very nice. I figure that I can deal with the above if I can get healthier (and skinny too).

Are you a self pay? I've had my insurance checked by a company down here, and it wasn't covered. But I called True Results-Houston today and they said their insurance team know which questions to ask to make sure it's not covered. Only thing is I live in Louisiana so hopefully they allow me to travel there and have the surgery. They are about $4,000 cheaper than the companies here in Louisiana. The Houston location is only 3.5 hrs away.

I have insurance also but don't cover it. I hope they can find a way for my insurance to cover it. When we're you banded? Also, do you live in Houston?

      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.
