Hi Jason. Congrats on your good news.

You can get a ticker at Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy.... Just follow the steps, then copy and paste the code for bulletin boards into your signature.

:cursing: Ok I needed to give everyone a up date on me cause I haven't been on for a while . After I went to see the phys. doctor they called me back and told me I needed to go to the local mental health to get a clearence letter from one of there doctors. And I went (why they wanted this I dont know) but any ways I went and they gave them the clearence letter. I got to go tomorrow and take my nutrition class then after that I got to go do a upper GI and some lab work and a cardio test then talk to the doctor and than off to the road to a new life. So things are starting to roll in the right direction for me now :redface:

Hey Jason,

It is very typical to require a psychiatric evaluation. Lapband is a major surgery and requires a big commitment on your part. They are also concerned that people with active eating disorders not be banded before dealing with those. So it was just to make sure that you're mentally and emotionally stable and able to handle the surgery and everything that goes along with it.

Sounds like things are going right along for you. Good luck!

My posts are full of typos, so this is in no way a dig... I just wanted to say how much I loved your spelling of candidate. I said it out loud and I could hear your accent!

I'm English, so the difference brightened my day.

Anyway, back to the important stuff, great news about your approval mate. i hope all the rest goes just as swimmingly!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
