Another go thing about having this now 1) like Jack said, a lot of useful info with test. I found out I had silent reflux with esphogitis erosion. If I hadn't had the test it could have turn into cancer.

2) It gives you a great short prelude to what going under for LBS will be like.

First you're there and next thing you know you're there again, like was I really out for an hour?

After the first one I woke up and asked when we were going to get started. Then had to have second one because I will be having 2 doctors and 2 surgeries. One to repair hiatal hernia and then install the band. When I was told there would be two doctors involved, all I could say was, "Wow, what a paradox!" One of the nurses came at me with something pointy so I did not make any more jokes. Just sleep and you will enjoy.

      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.
