I thought it was hilarious...I finally had my consult yesterday with the surgeon, and after taking my history, she looked at me and said, "well, i think you are a perfect patient for this surgery".

i thought that was pretty funny...when was the last time you'all were considered a 'perfect physical specimen', heh?:blushing:

i didnt know there was such a thing as perfectly fat :lol:

You know that's exactly what my doctor said to me!!! It was the first time I went to a doctor and didn't mind being weighed and knew I wasn't going to be lectured!!! He was so kind as to not mention what my actual weight was in front of my husband (although he knew) and was very respectful of me. Now, isn't that the way it should always be!!!

Good luck

me too!!! I thought it was hilarious as well. But nice, for once to be just perfect :P Until I went to the nutrition eval, and the nice, skinny lady asked me how I thought I got to this situation. Well, I suck at dieting, I eat alot and I don't exercise - duh!!! I really tried to come up with a more pithy response, but that's the bottom line, isn't it? So she says, "you'll really need to adopt an exercise plan and focus on eating small amounts" - again, REALLY???? YOU THINK?? Goodness, would I be getting Lap Band if I wasn't committed to doing those things? OK, I'm finished ranting now :mad:

I'm gonna focus on the being perfect bit again...:smile2:

I've got one that may even beat that....we were talking about which band to use/outcome of surgery etc and my surgeon said "We could really do just about anything since you have so little to lose." Hahahahahahahaha......I was 275.2lbs that day, so LITTLE to lose. I think I laughed all the way home!

      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.
