June 3rd here. This last month has flown by...only 2 weeks to go. I go on May 28 for final pre-op testing. I'm not nervous about surgery, just nervous about after surgery. Will I be able to stick with this. I'm 51 and been obese since I was 10 years old. Wondering what will happen when I lose the 120 lbs. I know I can do it, just scared.

I understand where you are coming from. I have always been over weight. I'm 54 and praying I can change my eating habits! Good luck to you.

Sleep studies are not that big of deal' date=' yes u will not be in your own bed but the bedroom should be set up like a hotel room to make u feel more at home, yes u will have alot of wires hooked to u but u will survive i promise plus im guessing u dont have a choice but to have study

Sent from my iPhone using VST[/quote']

You are right that it's not that big of a deal but I still couldn't wait until it was over; I was so uncomfortable...far from a night at a hotel for me

I really didn't know what happened, first time I'm posting, sorry! I have looked at stories for months and finally decided to post something of my own! I got my surgery date finalized today. I'm both ecstatic and terrified, but I am sure that this is the best decision of my life. MY DATE IS JUNE 10. I cant wait to be on the losers bench :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Hoping to be approved and sleeved by the last week of June. Final appointment with surgeon is Thursday and then they'll submit to insurance. Hoping for a fast approval so I can get my 2-week pre op diet underway. Best of luck to you!!

June 17th for me - lapband revision. I should be excited but I'm not - after failure with the band, just hoping to find something that works for me.

      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.
