Recommended Posts

Well, my financing is looking great!! Doc said I do not have to go to a seminar since I have already went to one and I have gone through this with my Mother. So I already know what the band is all about. So, I have my consultation on Wednesday the 16th. I can not believe this is going to actually happen! I have been reading all of the forums and looking at your before and after pics all week. You all look so beautiful!! Both in the BEFORE and the after pics. It is so inspiring to see how well you are all doing.

I don't think there is anything that is going to stop me now. My financing was the only thing I was concerned about. Now that that has been resolved it is just a matter of taking all the right steps.

DID I TELL YOU I WAS EXCITED!!!!!:whoo: :whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:

Well, that's the thing though...my doc wants to get me in before March 23rd because he said the hospital is giving a $2,500 discount that ends on that day. So he is trying to get things going pretty quick. He is a good doc. My Mom just had the band placed and she is doing GREAT!

Are you a self pay or is your Insurance paying? I think part of the reason I am going to be able to move so quickly is because I am a self pay. I don't have to jump through any hoops.

Hang in there Dave. Hope to chat again soon.

      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.
