My sister and I are getting our lap band on Monday, August 29th. I have been trying to keep busy so I won't think about it. I am worried about complications. We are both self pay and we sure don't want to fail.

Congratulations to all of you getting banded shortly. Just keep busy and it will be here before you know it. I got so busy (with work) before I left for my surgery i didn;t even get to come here to LBT for several days before I left. But, it helped because I didn't have time to get to anxious. I am two weeks post-op on Thursday and honestly 95% of the time I forget I even had the surgery.

Had the Pre-Op visit with the Dr today.. I was in while my friend had her first fill, so he saw us both at the same time... It was quick and easy for me... He asked if I had any questions....lol. And now I go back this Tuesday for the real deal.......

      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.
