My date is currently the 24th, and I planned it that way so I could enjoy the 4th and my birthday on the 16th before I have to start the one week diet for real.

Of course, the best laid plans... I may have to try and move to an earlier date - I may be changing jobs in mid to late July and if so I would want to get this done before starting. Hopefully I'll have an answer this week.

Just got my date today. July 16th. Im band revision and my worst nightmare is ill wake up in recovery to be told my stomach was too damaged from my herniated band to do the sleeve at the same time. Can't afford 2 surgeries and since my bmi is only 28, my insurance wont pay for a 2nd surgery. So Im praying ill wake up without a band and sleeved...

Getting it done in Coos Bay, Or.

I'm July 16th too and a revision too... and I know how you feel about waking up and not being sleeved. My bmi is 35 so I'm not sure what my insurance would do. Let me know if you're looking for a surgery buddy, I kinda want to find someone going through the same thing as me!

I think I'm going to be having surgery 7/23 with Dr. Pleatman in MI. I live in southeastern OH and am self-pay. I'm nervous, but excited and more hopeful than I've felt in years!

I have a surgery date!! July 10th! But I'm still not getting my hopes up because it always seems like something falls through, I have already had 3 different surgery dates and it hasn't worked out yet. This time I'm afraid my loan is going to fall through because on my loan application it asked for patient income and I put my entire household income. Now with everything being processed I need to supply proof of income, which I can for my household income, it isn't like I lied about that, but I think they may have just wanted my own personal income and that probably wouldn't make me eligible for the loan anymore. :(

      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.
