Dr. Evanson is doing mine. They called me on a Wednesday to set up a time for all my test and they only do them on a Friday . They had that Friday open so I took it. I had them all done in one day in Logansport. I got a call 12 days later with a surgery date.

Oh wow that's great!! I just love dr evanson. He did my lap band surgery even though I had to have it moved to no fault of his or mine. It slipped! So I would have no one else do mine. I praying for a may surgery!!

Tomorrow is my surgery. I feel like I'm going to a funeral . Saying good buy to my old life and when I wake up from surgery. I will be walking in a field of butterflies. With a new start in life. It will be a lot of work but I'm worth it.

I did. I had my surgery one month ago. It takes some time but there is

a list of thing's you need to complete . From start to finish it took me about 7 to 8 months to get my approval letter. It is so worth the work. I have lost 40lb my first month. I feel so much better.

      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.
