Hello! I am from Southern Maryland (Lexington Park, Great Mills, Patuxent River--You may have heard of one of these cities.) Like you, I am hoping to be banded soon. Just waiting for my insurance to approve me.

Just know that we're all here for one another. Keep us posted. :P

Hello fellow Marylanders!

I live in Frederick, MD. My sister lives in Severna Park! Wouldn't that be funny if you knew her?? Denise O'Neal... they live in North Cape Arthur development. And my other sister went to St. Mary's (back in the '80s).

My surgery is in a WEEK -- Tues., 5/29! My surgeon is in Gaithersburg: Dr. Barry Greene. Came highly recommended.

Good luck, everyone!

Hi Michelle - good luck with your surgery. No the name is not familiar, unless they have a child who is a Jr or Sr at Severna Park high I probably don't know them. I am doing well. Down about 13-15 lbs, but now I anticipate being a slow loser.

      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.
