Hi! My name is Holli. I am Pre-Op. I am just waiting to hear from the insurance company before I can move forward or move to Plan B (Self Pay). I am originally from Michigan. Currently living in VA. I have a blog I started to work through my progress: www.hollilama-anewme.blogspot.com. I am interested in new friends going through the same things. I don't know a lot of people here (in VA) and I have chosen only to tell a few people in my life, so feel free to email me!

Thanks for reading!

Holli

Hi Holli, welcome to lapbandtalk forum. I've been banded 8 months and I'm down about 40 lbs. I love my band. I hope that your insurance pays it for you. Best of luck.

Hi Holli! I just got my band-2 days ago. I was lucky that my insurance covered it. I am doing pretty good. The gas pains are the worst part of the whole experience. Best of luck to you- Gigi

      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.
