Thanks for the insight. I had my 59th birthday yesterday and desided I better get off my duff to get my life back before it's to late. 12 years ago I lost 168 lbs. in less than a year, and was in the best shape of my life. But I did it while taking Redux. I was one of the lucky ones and didn't really have the medicial issue that many others did. Needless to say, I have gained my 168 lbs. back and really miss all of the fun I had shopping at regular people stores. It didn't hurt hearing my wife tell people I looked like Tom Selick now. Well I am back looking more like Shrek. I hope Megan has good things to say about her experiance, because I can't afford the cost here in the USA

She will, tell megan McCall Sink sent you and she will take good care of ya!

Even if you cant get the surgery she is fantastic as a weight consler. She has been there she knows the thoughts and the patterns and she puts things out there you would never think of!

And remember if you get it or if you dont get it, its going to be a struggle either way so get your mind right and you will do just fine!!

Hey ...I'm near St. Louis also. Just right across the river in IL. I just got my band April 17, at new start. So far so good! :)[/quote

Hey I am also across the river and am currently in the process of going through the steps.. You should email me and maybe if we live close enough we could go walking or something...

      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.
