Why don't you consider coming to our support group Thursday night.

well i feel a little bit depressed about the whole situation, i really regret that i smoked but then again i am an addict and i was really in a bad place at the time and of course i did what i knew to do best and that was use. i feel better today, i attend ma and na and it really helps, but once i got that news that they needed that letter i felt a little discouraged, but i pray that it works out for me cause i really need this surgery, im only 21 with diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and sleep apnea, i weigh 245 and im just not happ at all , i mean whats the worst that could happen, they won't do the surgery??

thanks for replying by the way:)

I met Dr Geiss today. I was very impressed with his office, the helpful and friendly nature of his staff. I didn't really walk away with much of a vibe on 'him' but I'm sure he's had to do that little introductory ‘meeting’ a million times. I know I have confidence in his abilities and the availability of his staff.

I've done A LOT of research on the band and I knew they could tell that when I was there. They answered all of my questions and I didn't end up wasting any time with repetitive information.

I'm a little overwhelmed right now .... so many tests and so much information to absorb!

My daughter used Dr. Geiss and was very happy with him. Everything went off without a hitch. The pre-op testing can be overwelming but it's for your protection. Just start and focus on one thing at a time and before you know it, it will be over. We have all been through it so we know what it feels like. Here's wishing you the best on your "Band" journey!:clap2:

Ron,

When is the next support meeting. How was August? I was to early post op to attend. All has been going well since my surgery. Looking forward to the next support meeting. Do you remember the name of the woman I was speaking to at the July meeting. She was the one who lost over 100lbs and only had 1 fill. She was so helpful to me that night. I really took to heart everything she said to me and the advise she gave me has been so helpful. I cant wait to see her just to thank her.

      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.
