Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself! I've been researching lap band for two years now, and I am ready to take the plunge. I have my first info session on January 28th,and I can't wait! I've been a "lurker" on here for quite some time, and am looking forward to joining in on the bandwagon!:kiss2:

Hi!!

I am from MA to!! I attended the Dr. Glasgows seminar today and I have my first appt. next week. To tell you the truth I never really thought about lap band, my husband said I have been brainwashed from watching a Big Medicine marathon, and all the other obesity shows. I am tired of being the chubby girl, I have difficulty losing weight because I have PCOS so need a little help. I am just hoping for the Best!!!

Oh man, I have PCOS,too. It makes things so difficult.That's one of the major reasons I'm getting this surgery-I want babies someday!

What hospital does Dr. Glasgow work at?Are you excited?

:mad:PCOS really sucks!!! All of my symptoms are under control except I can't lose the weight, it is so hard. I am so tired of being the chubby girl!! I have 4 kids, I think I was lucky with my pregnancies.

I am very excited but at the same time scared of getting dissapointed. What if I have insurance problems or something:(( I hope not!!

      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.
