I will be having mine done late January. I was really hoping to get it done sooner, but his office seems to move very slow on getting back to me. I don't know of any other VS surgeons in the area though.

There arent any that I know of. I know there are a lot of extra steps that others dont have to do at other facilities, but believe me it is worth everything they do. It is all a plan that helps you after the surgery. A lot of the slowness can be the insurance company as well. Mine was approved 3 months early and they got me in with in 3 wks of the approval.

I'm still debating between vsg and the band and won't be getting either done in Ohio...but I live here! In Columbus. Should we arrange a weekly tea meeting & support group or something?

I'm also in Columbus and working with Fresh Start. Surgery is scheduled for 4/4. I am getting absolutely NO support from my husband. Not only is he not going to be present during my surgery, he wont even take the two days off after my surgery to help me care for our 1 year old son. I would really love to meet with a group to exchange meal ideas, triumphs, troubles, and even clothes! Good days for me are Monday, Friday, & Saturday. Let me know if/when/where you decide to get together.

      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.
