JUNE 2009 Lap Band Surgery



Recommended Posts

Well I guess I am the first one here! I just got my surgery date and it is set for June 2nd at OHSU in Portland Oregon. I am so excited! It has been a long journey to get to this point and I am so glad to have a date even if it is almost 3 months out. Anyone else out there get a June 09 surgery date?

Just had to jump in here...I'm a June 2008 bandster. Just wishing you all kinds of luck and success with the band. Best thing I ever did. I hit goal in Oct. (Took 54# off on 6 mo. required diet). Just a bit of advice...follow your doc's rules EVERYDAY and you will see results. Be good to your band and it will be good to you. Best wishes on your new journey!

I do not have my surgery scheduled yet but my doctor told me that it would probably be in June. I'm a little more than half way through the insurance mandated 6 month diet. My four month visit is at the end of this month. I am both excited and nervous. Maybe I will feel better when the surgery is scheduled.

As long as I don't miss anymore "supervised" exercise times I will be done jumpin thru da hoops on June 2! :welldoneclap: My BFF and I are trying to do it on the same day and her doc that she works for will be out the 12-21. My insurance lady says they approve pretty quickly so I'm hoping my doc office will make an exception b4 that and give us a surgery date around the 12th. My BFF has a time share so we plan to get a cabin and heal n' chill together--WITHOUT KIDS!!! Otherwise her next vacation is in July 8-12--not long enuf to me.

I can't wait for us to have a name! Any thoughts??

Hello June Bandsters.... It has taken me a while to finally receive my surgery date of June 29, 2009.... After the first denial I thought the surgery my never take place. However, with some determination and time devoted to writing an Appeal letter, it's finally going to happen.......

      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.
