I actually started to cry tears of shock, joy, and relief when I heard those words today. Best news ever!! It's been a long wait since the process started in March - nine months!! Every night I read through the posts on here.. Cannot tell you all how grateful I am for this wonderful community of people! Could wait to share the news with you!! I'm hoping for a January surgery date!

Congratulations!!! I am in the very beginning stages here.. I went to the doctor on Tuesday because I threw by back out and brought up the subject of getting the gastric sleeve. She suggested I get lap-band - but I'm pretty positive this is what I want. I have my 1st meeting 01/06/2015. I can't wait to start on this new journey. Again, congrats to you!!

Hopefully your doc will give you plenty of info about the variety of options. It seems like lots of people are getting their lap bands converted to sleeves. Do your research! ????

This site/app is an amazing resource! And the people are wonderful and supportive!

I got "the phone call" today I am approved!! Next week they will call me to schedule my surgery date. I am so happy for this forum because I can express what I am feeling and people understand. I only have my husband and my daughter's supporting and they mean everything to me. I told one friend and she said I was taking the easy way out. So now I don't tell anybody I don't want to hear anything negative, I want to keep positive.

      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.
