My surgeon's office just called to tell me that they were going to reschedule my surgery until June. I'm so bummed, I had psyched myself up. Something about one of the Dr.'s people not being there to assist. Man. Bummed out.

I know how you feel :( My surgeon had told me I'd be able to have surgery within four months of initial visit; but they didn't realize that my United Heathcare insurance had to go through Optum health for approval. Instead of being banded in June, I had to go through four more dietitian visits which delayed my surgery until December. I was totally bummed out.

Hang in there, your day will come. It will all be worth it once you wake up in recovery and realize you have a new life in front of you. Best of luck to you.

I know your pain. I had to wait until a blood clot in the brain (stroke at 39) was resolved. I was a week away from surgery and had to go another 4 months! Up side I list 50 lbs before surgery.

My band surgery had to be postponed for 18 months, all due to unforeseen medical issues for both myself and my husband.

The delay only increased my determination and motivation to be successful post op with the band.

Take a day at a time, and it will go by.

Best wishes...

      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.
