Hey Delawareans.

I know there have to be some people out there who have had this procedure done or considering it. I would like to chat with others.

I am having Lap-Band on May 5th with Dr. Irgau. I am very excited and eager to meet other people who are going thru what I am. I actually live in Oxford, Pa but since my doc is in Del I am responding. Where are you in the process?:hungry:

Hi I'm from lower DE. I see Dr. Wynn. The plan is for my surgery to be done on May 15th. I'd love to talk to any one from DE.

Hey maebeth-

I am in your area. I just found out my insurance covers this surgery, but have to wait for the center to be approved. Hopefully June 1. My goal is to lose 100 pounds.

I've been approved! I have a surgery date of June 22nd! I really wasn't expecting to be approved until the end of the year so, YEAH FOR ME! Guess I'd better get Protein shopping!

I'm in New Castle County, Dr. Peters will be doing my surgery at St. Francis. Any tips anyone would like to share would be appreciated!

      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.
