Im 22 yrs old and i think its the right time in my life for this. Im single and hopefully this surgery will help in that area. im so excited!! if anyone has any advice, id love to hear it!!!

just wanted to send you some good vibes. Stay positive and have people to rely on during recovery. Also bring a pillow to the hospital for the ride home. The bumps are the worst.

good luck hun.

Congrats, you will not be sorry. I was so nervous I almost backed out the weekend prior to my surgery and I am so thankful I didn't. I was banded on Sept. 15th 08 and I weighed 434lbs at time of surgery and I am now at 325lbs. I still have a lot of work ahead of me but I will get there and you will to. Don't give up and don't get discouraged. I wish you all the best. Also don't sell yourself short if you think someone don't want you because of your size then that person is not worth being with. When you find the right person for you it don't matter about your size, shape, clor or anything else.

      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.
