it makes sense because when I called they said they were in November 2008.

From what I heard, after you meet him you have to wait like 1 year before they schedualed the operation date!

Im thinking about going to Montreal to do it...Even Toronto!

We will see. My BMI isnt that high but high enough to hate myself!

It's a hard road to go but I think that the end is really just the beginning. So if I have to wait for another year it will be disappointing but worth the wait... right? To be healthy is what is important. The surgery is just to help you.. you still have to do all the hard work of diet and exercise...

I have no where else to write this, but today I want to SCREAM AT THE WORLD!! I am so invisible being fat! In 2007 I lost 65 lbs with WW, but, surprise surprise, I gained it back! Today, being used to being invisible, a MORON had to come up to me and comment on how much weight I'd gained, and too bad, I should lose the weight! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!! I had to come home and cry cry cry. My mirrors work fine, my clothes pinch me, I know I need help! Every moment of the day I'm thinking about losing weight, until the food is in front of me and I go blank till I'm done. I'm working hard on taking small bites and eating slow. I just don't make the right choices in food. I JUST WANT TO YELL!!!!

Ok, I feel a bit better now "talking" to people who probably have a better understanding about this than my 125LB husband. Thanks for letting me let loose a major vent!:thumbup:

Anyone else feel invisible? Seems my opinion doesn't count or I'm not important since I'm overweight...When I had lost the 65 LBS things were so much different with other people. It's weird...

I see people are no longer posting. I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my rant a few weeks ago. I have tried to delete my post but can't seem to do it. I always look forward to reading about peoples progress with the LAP-BAND®. I realize that this thread wasn't the place to vent my anger/frustrations. Please continue to post, there are a lot of people out there who need the support & information that you can share like before.

      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.
