excited and seminar booked



Recommended Posts

Hello! I am new to the site, and haven't really done anything like this before. I am scheduled for a seminar next week. Really looking forward to this journey. I feel a little scared about all of this and would really appreciate some feed back. I know I need to do this and get back to the living. Look forward to reading your messages.

I think this procedure is right for me. I am diabetic, type 2 and have been trying to lose weight it seems like forever. Oh, I loose some then gain it back. But I know that the diabetes would diappear if I could just keep the weight off. Seems like I can never get past 15 to 20 lbs. I am getting really excited about having this done.

Hey welcome to LBT, I did my research for about a year and decided what the heck I will go for it , so I went to a seminar and went from there my insurance was a little flip flop at the time , they didnt know if I had to do a 6 month diet thing or not so I had to wait needless to say, then I got a green light in Aug and then ended up changing doc which slowed the process down becuz my first date for surgery was 09/19/08 but that was put off I am now with a new surgeon a better one and next wednesday I am going in to have it done finally!!!!!!!!

good luck to u and welcome

Hi Chrissy. You'll find a lot of great info on this site. I'm a pretty new bandster, but it's been an amazing tool for me so far. I feel like I have a new lease on life. I wish you all the best on your road to good health!

      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.
