December Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

Welcome NewMe! I am also being banded on the 6th. I'm getting a little more anxious every day. It is getting to be so distracting I'm having a hard time focussing on my job.

This place is great. You can read about anything you are worried about and ask questions about it all. Don't get discouraged. We are all in this together.

Hello People!

Just got a date today whoooo!!!! I'm excited..as if you couldn't tell. :whoo: Looks like the 20th for now. I'm really suprised because I thought I was looking at January at least. Now, if I can just loose the last 11lbs. before my date I'll be in good shape. I'm sure all the pre-op stuff will be fine. Dr. Avara in Mississippi if anyone is curious. I've got the merry part down...now I'm working on the looser part.

CONGRATS to everyone! Wishing you all loads of luck!

I am proud of all the December bandsters that we have in this group. I was a self pay and my Doctor let me pick what month I wanted to have the surgery and the earliest was Dec. I chose December because December type meals are what got me in this situation. There is no reason to wait till a New Year resolution lets attack this now and get on with our new life.

hey everyone,

I haven't been on the site much lately, I've been pretty sick. I've had my surgery postponed/cancelled for awhile. :faint:

I've got a bad case pertussis(whooping cough), and the docs tell me 2 to 4 months before my lungs are healthy enough for surgery.

It's been fun reading all of your posts and finding out I'm not the only one who feels the way I do. It really sucks that I went all this way on this journey and it's basically jerked out from underneath me. Well, everything happens for a reason.

Take care and Merry Christmas! Maybe I'll be back on the list in a future month in '08.

Cerrin,

Thanks, I'm hoping so too. I am so drugged up on antibiotics, steroids and living with my inhaler, I think I'd have to die to feel better, (just kidding). Take care, happy banding!!

I just got my date today! I'm scheduled for December 18th! I was hoping it would be next week just so I'd be back in fighting form for my big holiday party on the 24th but I think a week might be enough time. Regardless it's really nice to finally have an "official" date!

Whoo hoo

Hey everyone ... I just got my date ... finally. It is December 18!!! I was hoping for the 21 so I wouldn't have to take off of work (School's break starts on the 21) ... but it looks like I will have to take off a few days. I am sure it will all be worth it. ADD ME TO THE LIST!!! I see I am not alone on this date! Thank goodness because I need someone to walk with through this journey.

Hey from Texas, y'all! My date is on Dec. 20. Hopefully perfect timing. I'll have to take 2 days off work, then the weekend, then Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. Then back to work on that Wednesday. I hope this is a realistic goal! Glad to be a part of this board.

      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.
