Who's getting banded in June



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I was so happy to find this web site and all of you June Bandsters. My surgery is June 11th with the Pre-Op on June 5th. My 10 year old daughter will be away at camp the week of the surgery so she won't have to know and worry. Only my parents and two friend know about this. Is any one else keeping it kind of secret? I am so excited and yet sometimes so embarrassed. It's like I have to face the reality of my size even though I am acutely aware of it every minute of every day. I'm getting so nervous, but I keep thinking that in a year from now I will have my life back. Good luck to all of you!!!!:thumbup:

Aloha,

I received my approval letter, and have a set date for June 10th. I will be banded in San Fransisco under the care of Dr. Cirangle. He is awesome. He has answered all of my questions and has made me feel at ease about this procedure and that I am making the best decision of my life! I am a bit nervous about going through with this, I guess it is just nerves, but i am very excited that it is happening. I can't wait to get my life back, my health better.:thumbup:

I have not had my surgery date yet, not until June 17,08. It depends on where you are having your surgery done. I am going to Mexico because my insurance won't pay and it is more than half of the expence. My Dr. requires that if you have a body Max index number of 45 or above, you need to go on a "Liver Shrinking Diet". In the USA I think they are more strict with pre opt diets. The liver shrinking diet is High Protein and low carbs,

I am new to this forum and website...but I am also being banded on June 25th. I will be at VCU in Richmond, VA with Dr. Maher. I have been through the initial consult, psych eval, pre-surgery weightloss (21 pounds) and got my surgery date this Thursday. I am going in for pre-op on the 17th and surgery on the 25th...I am excited and ready for a new phase!

      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.
