Lauri, why don't you boogey on down to Galveston on 11/13 and spend the night w/ some of us "Texas bandsters"? Leatha and Betty are coming from your neck of the woods. Love to have you!

Hello Willpower! I live in Little Elm. I substitute at Frisco ISD! What an awesome school district. I am waiting on approval, as well. Back in July, I learned about the lap band and have been jumping through hoops, crossing my T's and dotting my I's every since! Dr. Cribbon's office finally got enough info. to send the request to the insurance about two weeks ago. Good luck to you! Maybe we can meet sometime.

Guest Fighting for me

I am in Mansfield, TX. Researching the whole surgery process, trying to figure out if it is right for me. I will be a self pay. So trying not spend an arm and a leg. IF you guys ever get together here, please let me know.

Thanks for the welcome!..Call me Kate. I had my surgery in August. I started at 302 and am down to 264. Size 26 down to size 20. I am in no rush to lose as it took 15 years to gain. Besides, I am starting to get these strange wrinkly things...not sure I am thrilled about that...Plastic surgery anyone?

Anyway, I hope we can get find a way to get together somewhere in the DFW area...

Who is your surgeon?...I used Benevides with Maese for follow-up.

PS...the surgery is a breeze..I was in and out in 3 hours.

      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.
