i am in the UK but going to europe for the procedure because it is so much cheaper :)

hopefully i will come on before i go because they won't operate on ladies if it's the first day of their period and last month i came on on the 9th :cry but i certainly feel premenstrual :angry so hopefully it starts soon!!

really , i never knew about that they wouldn't opp if you were on the fist day of your period. I got mine just before i went to bed and they opp'ed on my at 8am! i was thinking that you were in the uk alright would be a very long way to go from the states. whats making you go to prague. is i that much cheaper? what are you going to do about fill and stuff?

oh yesh, it's half the price of UK! all post op fills/unfills are free you just have to get there considering that my flight out from Bournemouth on the 9th cost me 0.49p and the return flight £9.99 (+ plus airport taxes) it's cheaper than travelling to London!

the band im having is a bit different to the american version, it's a Johnson & Johnson one which is commonly used in europe and not available in USA.

Hello all,

Hope you are all well ? sorry to hear Dini that your not too well. I am getting a bit panicky now getting banded on 16th going on holiday 26th ( hubby wont change dates!!) a bit concerned that I havent been given my pre-op diet yet.. our doctors over here dont seem to be as thorough as yours. Also any advice on what I can eat and drink whilst I am on my hols I will be 10 days post op yikes!!!! WE are off to Greece with people who dont know I'm being banded...great eh?

Don't want to tell them either as they are not that close and er well they are a bit stuffy... no.. they really dont need to know !!

[Go to TickerFactory.com to build your ticker counter. Chose weight loss and then select your tape from the many choices. Once you've selected your tape, hit "next" to choose your marker, then hit "next". Once it's complete, highlight the tape and hit "ctrl+c" to copy it. Then in this website, go up to the top and click on "UserCP" and select "User Signature". Click in the signature text area and hit "ctrl+v" to paste the tape.]

Kathy-thanks for the reply, but I tried this and it still didnt work--I tried to copy and paste the bbCode and the HTML and I tried to cut and paste the tape itself and paste it.......NOTHING!! I am a spaz

Any other suggestions?

Copy the bbCode and put it into the main signature box. It doesn't go into the attachment fields. I know mine took a couple of minutes to show, but hopefully this helps you. Just make sure that you save your signature when you are done. :eek:

      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.
