Anyone getting banded in Nov?



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is 11/7. I met with the surgeon yesterday from True Results in Scottsdale. I'm very nervous but excited!

I think we were in the same group session- yesterday at 130?!

Yes! I was there yesterday at 1:30. How did your pre-op consultation go with the surgeon?

Good except they threw a cure ball at me! He wanted cardiac clearance! Grrr so I spent the rest of the day in a panic trying to find a cardiologist that could get me in before the 8th. I was lucky I found one and got the clearance today!

I am too close to get denied again! The insurance company denied me in Aug for gaining 1.8lbs so I had more hoops I had to jump through!

How are you doing with the pre-op diet? I'm positive yours is not as long as mine is! :)

I'm glad everything worked out for you! I'm on the one week pre-op diet so I started today, it's been okay so far. How's yours going?

I'll definitely let you know how it goes. I think he said his date was on the 8th, so you may see him there.

      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.
