I received my 2 pre op appointments and my 2 post op appointments today. Does anyone know what the pre op group meeting is? It is a 2 hour meeting.The other pre op appointment is with the surgeon . I still can't believe this is happening in one month. I can't wait. I have been overweight my entire adult life. I can't wait to try thinner and healthier!!!

I don't have pre-op appointments, or post-op appointments. I have pre-admission testing on May 14 that will take about 4 hours.

Hey everyone. I had an EKG done today as part of my pre-op requirements. Everything was good. My pre-op appointment was changed to May 21st. I am getting closer and closer. I am nervous and excited.

Hello everyone, I am scheduled to have my lap band removed and VSG on June 3rd. I had my pre-op yesterday. I did not need an EKG... I think they will do it on the day I go in. I wasn't given a pre-op diet to follow, I just have instructions to have liquids only, the day before.

Lap band SW:233, lost 30lbs

Current wt-246

Goal weight-150

It will all work out as long as you are able to provide them with what they are asking... Once they receive this, it should only take 48 hours. When were you submitted to ins?

      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.
