Hi,

I found out last Fri that my surgery willbe covered 100% by my insurance co, and to day my MD called to say he was scheduling the referral w/ the surgeon. Gosh, I still can't believe this is all happening. I just got my insulin pump about 5 weeks ago, so my BG's are starting to come into line. I hope to find lots of info here.:drool::thumbup::sneaky:

Hi and welcome to LBT! That is fabulous that your insurance is going to cover the band. Let us know when you get your surgery date and if you have any questions.

Hi I have been on here a few times and find it very helpful. I am waiting on my date and need to meet with the dr one more time. My husband is totally against me doing this, but I feel it is the last option.

Good for you. I know you are excited. It took me a year to get the approval and then it real fast after that. My surgery date is March 19th.

Good luck

      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.
