I am being banded Nov 9 by Dr. James Debord - Peo, IL

I am definately ready and very anxious and nervous at the same time. Each day I hear more horror stories about recovery and inability to eat. BUt I am trying to block those out....lol

I am working up until the day before surgery and planning on returning to work the following thursday. I am being optomistic that I can do this. I don't have more time than that to take since I started my new job in June.

I wish everyone luck, that is being banded with me this next month.

Hugz,

Kristin:)

I'm getting banded Nov. 2 by Dr. Yau in Toronto. I'm not nervous at all for some reason. I'm sure it'll hit me when I'm about to go under. I'm so excited! =) Good luck everyone!

I am getting banded Nov 1st and I am so excited and can hardly believe it's real. Even though everything is all set to go I keep thinking maybe it's not going to really happen.

I will be getting banded nov 27 -- as long as I can get my BMI down to 50

If I do that then I will save $5,000!!

My doctor has the option to do the surgery at their out patient center or at the hospital. I qualify for the out patient center if I have the 50 BMI,, I currently have 55 BMI.

If I don't make it by then, I will reschedule for Dec.

I'm nervous but sooo happy

:clap2:

I'm being banded on the 14th. For some reason I'm not really nervous about actually being banded. What I'm really really really nervous about is the recovery. I'm a total wimp when it comes to pain.

starryeyed - I feel ya! I keep waiting for a call telling me they're going to change my surgery date

Lizzy o7. We are going to be banded on the same day. Same Dr, Yau. We are also very close in weight and have the same goal. How's the diet going?

Do you live in TO? I'm in Winnipeg. Going to stay for 5 days to make sure I can fly home in fair shape.

I'm anxious but keeping it together.

      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.
