Anyone having surgery on August 18?!



Recommended Posts

I am!! I am officially done with all of my appointments. I met with the surgeon, dietician, psychologist, and exercise physiologist. I feel much better and really, really positive about the whole time. I've NEVER had surgery though! I'm kinda nervous about that..but the outcome..should be amazing! yay!

Let me know if anyone has surgery this day! Or a day close by. We can be anxious/nervous/scared/excited together :wink2::):)

wow that is allot of people getting banded. I am so excited about mine I just wish it were here already.

Less then a week now and counting. Aug 5th is my date.

I am not to good with this site yet.....not sure if I am doing everything right. I have a myspace because of my friends and my daughter had to help me set it up, so I am just not good at this.

I am glad a found this website though, I was going nuts looking lapband people up. Asking anyone who knew anyone that had one. Here the security person Tracy at my work her husbands cousin had it 6 months ago and is doing great. Lost allot of weight already. He has his own website, with his begining to now.

I just can't wait.

lisafitz - I know!!! I think about it all of the time! All day. And, I'm so unbelievably busy so it kind of sucks. I spend time researching the lapband instead of doing my homework and stuff :/ I'll have tons to do at night, and I'll end up on here the whole time! ha! I'm working full time currently and taking 3 classes. And selling a lot on ebay. My life is so busy and crazy. haha But, I'm so so excited, and nervous of course. I've never had surgery! :)

      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.
