Hello Ya'll:

I am a 30 year old female from Florida who moved to southern Georgia about a year ago. I am pretty sure that I was googling my chunky butt off when I came across this forum. I am thrilled to death that I found it thought. The pictures on here are simply amazing!!! I can only hope tp have such results. I have not been banded yet. If all goes well, I will have the surgery done on 2/25/08, here in GA, with Dr. Bagnato. I think that he has done over 500 of these procedures.

I have never had a single surgery in my entire life. So yeah, I am kinda nervous as hell right now.

I hope all goes well.

take care. Thanks for having me.

Drop me a message sometimes. I woud love to make some new friends along my journey. i dont care about age, gender, location, race, or any of those trivial things that don't really matter to me.

best wishes to all. :)

Hi! I am from south Georgia also. Live in Blackshear, but had surgery in Waycross. I am 55 years old and teach school. I have weight issues all my life and am now willing to face them. I am learning what a stronghold food has in my llife. This is not going to be an easy journey, but definitely a very worthwhile one. I want to be able to keep up with my precious 3yr old grandaughter!:)

Hey all...I'm also from S. GA and hoping to be banded by Dr. Bagnato soon. I'm working on the money portion now since I'm self-pay. About $4K more to go!

Hi there, and welcome to LBT! I started off in Central Florida, then we moved to Duluth, which is basically Atlanta for awhile. That area was just way to busy for me. So, we relocated back to Florida about 4 years ago. We ended up in Jacksonville and absolutely love it here.

Anyways, glad you found us.

      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.
