I know I am slow getting in on the August countdown...I am suppose to go to TJ on 25 Aug to be banded by Dr. Ortiz....I have NEVER had surgery of any kind...and as each day in August ticks by I wonder if I have lost my mind to put myself on a surgery table in Mexico for the sake of weight loss.....tell me that I am just nervous and that everyone freaks out at this point!!!! Anyone else scheduled for that day????? GULP!

MsButterKup23 and Kittykat2900, liberty2003 and liberty2003's sister,

Best wishes to you all and here's to speedy recovery for all.

Sisterp, don't worry you are not alone, this too will be my first surgery, and I am scared to death. Mine is 7 days away, so excited, and scared all the same. We will all get through this with the great help we get from each other.

Prayers to all,

Shelley

Margo,

I know this is rather late, but I am having surgery in Monterrey Mexico.

I want to thank you for being such a great good luck wisher to all of us Aug. bandsters. I don't make it to the boards everyday so I miss some, but I want every one to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

By the way has anyone heard from the ones that have already had their surgeries? Hope they are all doing well.

Here is to gettin er done,

Shelley

Shelley,

You know, you and I will be "band sisters" since we are both having surgery on August 17.....

I had my pre-op appointment with my surgeon today and all is great and I am ready to rock n' roll.

We will be miles apart, but not really!!!!

Good Luck in Mexico.

Hi guys, I am back after my surgery on the 1st!! I had a few post-op problems (general surgery problems not band problems) but now I am home and safe and feeling great. My wounds are healing nicely and I am eating mushy food, I am a bit more tired than usual and a little tender on the abdomen but apart from that I am really well. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes. Good luck to all who have yet to be banded!!

      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.
