Thanks Meli... it went great.... I am so much more at ease about my progress ... Nurse Connie is the best... everything that I had anxiety about or paranoid about was shot down by her with facts and education... I am so relieved... I am going back on Jan 29th

Oh your welcome. Glad everything went well. Their all good there, but yea I agree nurse Connie is the best. Pretty soon they'll have us there on the same day. lol. Not sure about the same though. But you never know.

Why Conroe? Is your job there? Conroe is about 25 miles from Houston. My dr is Turnquest, about halfway between Houston and Conroe. I will be sleeved in late Feb or March. Waiting on approval. Don't know how Conroe is for singles? ?

We could always set one up ourselves. Pick a place and a time and see how many people show up. Cause if we wait for someone else to well be waiting awhile. I stay out in spring myself, off 1960 and 45

Some of these post are a year past dated, I was banded April 3, 2014 by Dr. Reilly. Is there a support group that is currently active in Houston?

Call and ask your dr. But when you go for your fill you will fill out a form describing your level of hunger.

      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.
