I'm also being banded by Dr. Antonetti on 5/13. Went to seminar on 3/3. I'm self-pay so it's moving pretty fast. Only slowdown is they're 6wks into surgery schedule. I'm on pre-op diet and wait list in hopes of being moved up!!

Glad to hear that. I have been very pleased with Dr. Antonetti and the staff at Riverside. Keep in touch and much sucess on your journey!

I am relocating to Greenville this week. Where is this support group. I am going to be missing mine back in Texas.

What is the LapBand scene like in upstate SC? Looking to get plugged in and stay on track with my weight loss.

My new date is on the 7th now....oh boy!!!!

Lexington is right outside of Columbia.

You would be coming in on 26 towards columbia, but then take 26 to Charleston. As soon as you do, the hosp exit is less than a mile. From greenville, it will take about 1 and 1/2 to 2hrs, depending on traffic. I don't know of any in Greenville.

Just wanted to jump on here to say hi. I'm new to the boards and have just began my lap band journey. I had a consult with my PCM May 13th, received a referral which was authorized for 4 visits with Dr. Tribble @ Palmetto Regional and attended the seminar May 19th. My next scheduled appointment isn't until June 23rd :wink2: but I can't wait. I'm just super excited about finally being able to lose this weight and keep it off. If anyone out there has and experiences with Tricare, I'd love to hear from you!

      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.
