I'm so excited, I just can't hide it

I'm about to lose control and I think I like it

Just got excepted for surgery, it will be on Feb 6th, 2009

Have to meet with surgeons, nutritionist and others?

Insurance will pay for lap band or by pass. I’m leaning towards lap band.

Any suggestions?

Merry Christmas

My surgery date is February 9th I'm excited. I'm doing the lap-band because I didn't feel comfortable re-arranging my organs. Let me know what you choose.

I find "foxes" a little sexest..LOL

How about February Funsters............

How is it sexist? "Foxes" is for both men and women. As in, "Robby Benson is such a FOX!"

(I think I may have just dated myself...:Yawn:)

I'm having mixed emotions, I'm excited to change my life, but at the same time terrified because I've never had surgery and I'm a baby with pain.

Relax,,,It was a joke......My wife calls me her "Grey Fox"!!!!

I was just trying to bring a little humor into something that, for at least, I am a little apprehensive.......

I am beyond excited! And nervous. :cool:

I have never had surgery before and my number one fear is waking up with a breathing tube down my throat! I know, out of everything I could be worrying about, I pick that! :regular_smile:

      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.
