Hi, My surgeon was also Dr. Steven Britt. I love him and his staff so much. I have recommened at least 3 people to him and one has already had her band. I got banded on Sept. 25th, 2006. I wish i had done this sooner. I feel so much better. I live around the fyffe and rainsville area.

Hi all,

I live in Cherokee so some of you are not too far away from me. I hope to have a surgery date soon. Everything is approved just waiting to be scheduled. I guess by now I should be used to the hurry up and wait thing but I think maybe I could calm down if I just had a date. Then again I will probably freak when I get the date. I guess I am just ready. I started this whole process last October. I had no idea it would take so long.

      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.
