Hello everyone, need to give an update. I didn't have surgery May 18th, was dehydrated and no one could get the IV. I had my resleeve yesterday. Everything is going well so far. I left the hospital today for the hotel that has a nurse and physician there if problems. So far I am happy and I think doing well

I got approval and a surgery date of June 8 also band to bypass. I cannot wait to be free from my band. It has not been a good experience at all! I am 2 weeks out and finally with a surgery date very nervous. I also have Aetna insurance. Good luck to everyone!

What was your approval process like? I'm just starting my journey to get rid of this awful band giving me reflux and only lost 25lbs since 2008. Were u made to do a 3 month diet again? I have Aetna pos ii btw!

I see that your surgery date is getting close. I hope you're excited. I had the revision from band to RNY done back in October. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE! I have already lost close to 50 pounds, and that's with me doing a move from GA to AK and having to eat on the road for three months. You are going to be amazed at how much easier it is to have the RNY than the band. I wish you the best of luck!!!

      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.
