Cramerk Dr. Ortiz is doing my surgery too. I am leaving on the 24th and will have it done on the 25th. I will let you know how it goes. Are you going back for the first fill or are you using a fill center? Is anyone else having their surgery with Dr. Ortiz around the 25th. Maybe we can get together down there.

Kimmiev3.. I haven't decided on whether to go back to Ortiz or not, but I am open to it if you wanted to partner up. I am traveling on my own and would love to find a travel buddy. Also, please let me know how it goes, I am starting to get nervous. Although after my first day on the P/O diet, I am starting to look at my dog's bones and drool. We won't talk about the caffeine withdrawl.

Good luck to you all.

wow, there are alot of us getting our surgery tomorrow.

I don't know about all of you but I am a little scared, excited but scared. My goodness it seems like it took for ever for this date to get here but at the same time I can't believe it's already here. I really want this for myself and am deffinetly pumped up for tomorrow, but am a little worried about the pain.

Well here's to our new lives beginning tomorrow.

Good luck everyone.

You feel like I do except I am not worried about the pain; I am more worried about making sure I get through all 5 stages of drinking and eating. I just don't want to do something wrong and I hope I am not hungry like I have been sometimes on this preop liquid diet and Jello. You are the first one I have found that is being banded tomorrow.

I have added you to my friend list so we can keep in touch easier after the surgery. Good luck tomorrow. Mine is at 11:30; what time is yours? Are you coming home the same day or are you staying over? I am not sure yet. Going to wait and see how I feel.

      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.
