I'm sure there are some people out there getting banded that didn't make it on the official surgery list, so good luck to all of you as well.

Indeed, thanks for posting this. I'm slated for Wednesday afternoon, and while as the time gets closer I'll admit to getting somewhat nervous about it, it's full steam ahead!

Thanks Anna for posting this thread and thanks to everyone else for the well wishes! I have surgery scheduled for Wednesday morning. I live in Missouri and we have gotten a lot of ice so I am hoping a lot of the ice is gone by Wednesday. I am getting so excited for my surgery!!!

Anna, I think we are on the same day (February 13th). What time is your surgery? I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am so I am thinking my surgery will be around 7:00am. Good Luck to Everyone. I will be sure and post after surgery.

Kimberly :smile2:

Good luck, it really isn't as bad as it feels like it will be. Just remember to WALK it off! that is the best thing I did. The pain is REALLY manageable, if you are female and had a child, it is nothing compared to birth.

See you on the banded side.

Thanks for all the good wishes. It's an exciting week to be entering bandland. Good luck to everyone this week.

My surgery is at 10 a.m. on Friday. What a way to start the weekend. It works out nice since DH will be home all weekend and Monday (Federal Holiday) so he won't have to take but one day off work and I won't be alone for the first few days.

Hi Everyone,

I had my surgery yesterday, and I am feeling great! A wee bit of gas pain, but the Gassex strips are taking care of that. As far as incision pain, it is very, very minimal. If I would have had to, I could have gone back to work today.

Good luck to the rest of my fellow Victorious Valentines!

      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.
