Hi!! So are you going to have another lapband done or are they doing a different procedure? I hope everything goes good for you.

I had the RNY done Nov 5th 2014 @ Bailey Hospital in Owasso.

I too am going through Bailey in Owasso. Surgery date isn't set yet but should be near the end of March. I see the surgeon next week to set the date. I plan to attend the Bailey Owasso support group every 2nd Monday of the month (been to the Bville one but it's a long drive from Owasso, where I live). I love it! Perhaps we could form another support group. There can never be too much support.

The owasso support group meetings are very good!! Who is your surgeon?

I had Dr. Varnell, really was impressed with all of the staff from Bailey.

I'm having the lapband removed and revising to the gastric bypass. I should've done that surgery to begin with. Hoping to either get it done at the end of May of beginning of June. My insurance before sent me to Journey Clinic in Moore which is in Norman now. I'm sticking with them because my surgeon did really great the first time. :)

Dr. Varnell is my surgeon also! As an RN, I researched both him and Dr. Katsis very thoroughly. Both are excellent choices.

      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.
