Hi Missy123,

I don't know if it's true about once a week and I'm like you I'm pretty anxious too. Like fousilly was saying, in one day they can do at least 5 or 6 lap band surgeries. I was at the hospital today for blood test and I almost went and ask if they had a date schedule for my surgery on their computer but I didn't. I'm wondering if we call they would tell us?

Professor Peter,

Thank you, now I know how to use loose, lose and lost. They say French is hard to learn but sometimes, English is too. Learning a new language is a chalenge but it has it's reward. Learning is a lifetime processing.

Clempier, do not worry about your english. Wr know what you mean. Next to Chinese, english is the hardest language to learn because english is not a language. English is made up of many different languages with no rules. For english children with english parents, it is hard.:tongue_smilie:

For those who are waiting like me,

Right now I'm in Saint John at my Mom & Dad's place for Christmas. I was thinking, next year at this time, I'm going to be band and it's going to be really different from this year. Hopefully, less weight on my body. It's funny but it seems like a dream. I have a hard time to see it real.

Hi Missy123,

I'm going through all those questions myself. I'm like you, the waiting is killing me. I was talking to my husband on the phone and I was asking him if he had check the mail . . . he didn't. He stayed in Beresford and my daughter and I are in Saint John at my Mom & Dad's place. No, I didn't hear anything from them or from someone else regarding any surgery or if they got all the equipment they were waiting for. I hope we're going to hear from them pretty soon. I hope you're going to have a great Christmas and a Happy New Years and my wish for you is for you to receive your date soon . . . REALLY SOON.

Hi Nancy,

I was thinking, it would be funny if we had our surgery the same day. I would think, he's able to do at least 5 to 6 surgery per day. I just called someone who knows someone who already got his date. He had his date for a while now. He had to go to "Simply for Life" program for a couple of months before his surgery. That's what Dr. Savoie asked him. I know he is scheduled for January but I don't know the exact date. My friend is not at home right now. I left a message and he'll probably call me later. If I know something else, I'll let you know.

Hi Nancy,

Right now, I don't know what to think. I got in just two days 4 differents versions.

1st one: He is going to start with the lapband in January

2nd one: He's only going to start in March

3rd one: My friend's friend got his date for a while now

4th one: My friend who works at that hospital told me they were still waiting for some equipment.

I think the best thing to do is wait patiently for a letter from the hospital with our date. This way, we won't put our hope up and then down because we get different stories.

As soon as I get mine, I'll let you know right away.

Talk to you soon

Hi Clempier

You are so right!!! better wait for the letter!!! I spoke to the doctor secretary last week and she told me the equipment was not all install and the doctor moving all the files into the hospital. So we should have news quite fast....If I have any information I will let you know.

Take Care

Nancy

      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.
