Anyone getting banded in Nov?



Recommended Posts

Hi there, congratulations! 15 days out and those early few days of pain then discomfort are a distant memory -- just kept getting myself up and walking and my body got all these new messages. The healing but also the new attitude of being a walker and a loser of weight. I don't think my body quite understood that before but it's getting it now! So happy, too. Just happier all-around. Out of food jail happy.

LadyJ and Icy One, I'm right there with you--was hoping to be a Nov. bandster but my Drs office screwed up the paperwork. They are doing a peer to peer review with the insurance company today at 4:30 (if they don't screw that up too!) so I'm hoping to know something by the end of the day. If I get approved, I'll be a Dec. bandster. You're not alone, we can start a new group for us Dec. bandsters.

Hey, we're not letting you go that easily! Just think, a year from now we'll all be 2013 bandsters talking about how quickly a whole year passed. Wishing you the best for this afternoon's peer review. Hope you get the news soon and that's it's just what you want to hear!

Thanks. :) I m convinced that a positive attitude is important. And I tend to be a bit irreverent about more minor medical stuff. A sense of humor makes it a little more fun. :)

Well everyone, i had my surgery this morning. Went pretty well. Doc even commented about how well i did on my diet because it was really easy for him. Home and resting for a while now. A little sore and the gas pain comes and goes but nothing that can't be handled.

Wishing everyone else well in the next couple of days. Lets do this. :)

      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.
