Recommended Posts

I know it's not alot of progress but I did the seminar in Sept and just did my consult and measurements today!

They scheduled my phsyc eval for 1/8.... After that I just have to wait till april when my dietitian appts will be complete... Such a long road but there will be an end I am sure. Every appt just makes it a little closer :scared:

All the "hoops" we have to go through are nothing when you think of the quality of life we're gaining!!

It took me seven months too, but the time really did fly (March to October) and luckily you have all the holidays to help the time whiz by.

Best of luck to you Brandy~

I had my consultation last week and it went terrific!

I don't have any co-mortalities (yet) so was told I could get banded within the next 30 days if I wanted. I just have to get financing in order since I am self pay. I can get my labs, dietitain and preop done all in the same week, then 2 week pre-op diet and I will be ready to go!

Hoping to get banded in late January. I wanted to be banded in late December but the hubby remided me that I have a few commitments that do not fit into a pre-op or soon after post-op way of life.

My hoops are getting smaller!!

It only took 7 & 1/2 months but I am scheduled for banding on Tuesday November 27th, 2007!

I have the sniffles. I live in a 'cold' state. Will this be enough for the doc to want to rechedule surgery? I hope not. Anyone?

      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.
