Hi..my name is Tracey and I am trying to get the Lap band. I am waiting on one more thing to get insurance approval and I hope it is approved quickly. I am so excited about this life changing event. I know I can do this and this is something I really want. I hope to make some new friends and I am always looking for advice and learning from other's experiences. Look forward to meeting everyone:clap2:

Hey there...not too far from you guys. I'm from Maryland and work in DC. Have you selected a surgeon yet? I highly recommend my surgeon if you have not. He's great. Good luck on your journey and welcome to LBT.

I am going to be seeing Dr Terracina in Newport News. They are submitting my case to my insurance today so I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. I hope that I hear something back soon.

Hi, I am new to this board and I live in No Virginia. Good luck with your surgery. A support board is a must with lap band surgery, so welcome.

Good luck with the insurance! I checked the local support groups for Maryland, but it seems a MD/DC/VA group for this area would have more folks. Anyone know if one already exists?:)

      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.
