I totally understand i got my surgery date yesterday after only 1 month and 3 1/2 weeks of dr appts and all the other stuff that you have to do. I can't believe it went so quickly and my insurance is paying for it. I will be banded on Aug 19th at 7:15 Am wooooohooooo.

I was screaming in the car after the dr appt. Two months and 9 days from my first dr appt inquiring about the lap band till the sugery date that has to be a record time!!!!!! I can't even think straight I am so excited!!! Good luck to you

I just got my letter of approval from the insurance yesterday. I have my educational thing Sept the 2nd. And I hope soon after that I get the lap band. I been on a long haul of trying to get this since Dec 07.. Man its taken forever! Too long in my book. But now that I am approved in all area's I am scared! lol.. I know.. but I have never had a skinny day in my life and now this is real. I am approved and my life is going to change! OMG!! Its really happening?! Some anxiety and being excited all at the same time over this! :) I cant wait. I have prayed for this many years, since I was a child. Although then it was for vainity, now my weight has become insanity and I believe God finally answered my prayers! :thumbup: Wish me the best! :thumbup: I will keep everyone updated! :thumbup:

I know how you feel. I didn't had to see any doctors before my surgery, but I had to get my surgery financed and that took almost three weeks. When I finally got my approval I was so excited. It was my final step to get my surgery done. That's why I say "I know how you feel."

Congrats,:thumbup:

      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.
