It is now official...just booked the airline tickets...

I am a 3/13/13 sleever.

Yes' date=' moved up 1 day, mainly because flights were half price flying on the 12th and 16th.... I will tell you, that I honestly thought hitting the purchase airline tickets now button would be very exciting for me....I am sick to my stomach, WOW, NOW I am nervous!!

Well 3/13/13 sisters, I cannot wait to meet you!![/quote']

I totally agree. I sat down yesterday and was gonna get me tickets and got a anxious sick feeling and has to put it off. I'm gonna do it. Especially before they raise prices. It's so scary and will probably be relieved once I hit button. I hope..... It makes it so official. Huh??

I sat on that website ALL DAY trying to hit the purchase button, I have no idea what is wrong with me. Today, I am happy, but in disbelief that it is actually official now.

I think a lot of us did the same thing, you're not alone in this. So when are you arriving? The 12th? I'll be there in the morning...hope to see you!

Curious, how many days are you taking off work? I was planning on going back on Tuesday...do you think that is too soon? I have a desk job so I was thinking it wouldn't be too bad.

I am arriving on the 12th at 9:45 am via Frontier Airlines. As far as work, it is kinda an odd situation, my mom and I own a furniture & clothing consignment store, so my schedule is kind of flexible. I am hoping to be back at work on Monday the 18th, but I will just be sitting, I have more than enough "paper style work" to take care of........... The only problem is, it is a furniture store and people have no regard sometimes, so my mom is making me wear a sign that says " I cannot lift anything, so dont ask me, I just had surgery!" HAHA

We will see how it goes : )

Are you a late departure on Saturday? My flight leaves at 6:55pm, and yes, I hope we can stay in our hotel room since technically we have it until the next day anyway.

As far as preop diets, my sheet says 7-14 days, what is everyone doing? 7, 10, 14? What determines how early you should start?

I'm just finishing up day 8 of 21 days... I have high BMI and I need to get it down under 49 before surgery date so I can avoid paying an extra thousand dollars. So I'm doing 21 days of the Protein drinks plus a lean and green meal then on Sunday prior to surgery they want me to take a laxative or two and be on clears until my surgery on Wednesday

I arrive at 10:20am from Orlando on Alaska Airlines on 3/12 and leave at 10:05pm 3/16. I just found out from alma that I can stay and rest in my room as long as I can before needed to be taken to the airport since i'm paying for the night anyway but goofed and booked the flight a day early.

I really need to figure out my work schedule and see if I'l be approved to use my ELB time off. I've got much to work on still...and the $$$ needs to be set up so i can just bring a cashiers check. I pray I dont have much scar tissue when they remove the lapband and have to pay even more than the additional $500. Boo...

How do you respond to people when they show concerns about you going out of the country? I have only told a few of my family members as of right now. But I will have to tell more people soon.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
