My doc submitted my paper work for banding this past week. I am hopeful I get approved. He doesn't think it should be an issue but I am weary. I am hoping for the best! If so I am scheduled to be banded the day before Turkey Day! I say no time like the present! Congrats to all with their approvals and dates. :) Looking forward to joining you!!

Yep we will be bandies!!! So its only people with major weight loss. Whew I was so stressed. How do I get the chart?

Hi there, I meant a chart of all the people being banded around the same time -- as for the tickers, those are under our profile, may have to be at a regular computer to find.....edit profile? Tickers? So glad for your surgery date -- we have healthy times ahead. Yippee!

As it stands right now, I have my EGD on Oct. 18th. I will start my pre-op liquid diet on the 25th and then my surgery is scheduled for Nov. 15th, as long as there are no issues with the insurance approval. The surgeon's office doesn't think there will be any issues with getting it approved and says my insurance is pretty easy to work with so I'm hoping they're right about that.

      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.
