Hi my name is Tammy, Iam hoping to get the lapband SOON!! My surgeon is Dr. O. (aka..Onopchenko) at Atlanticare In Egg Harbor NJ

Today I had my Psych eval and met the dietitian, but I still have a couple more things to do before I know for sure the insurance will pay. I guess everyone has to do everything then wait for the ANSWER from the ins.

I cant wait.!!!! :)

Hello I have a question, My surgeon is Dr. Patel same office as yours and I was wondering did you use Atlanticare Behavioral Health for your psych eval? Could you tell me what kind of things they ask you and how long the visit took?

Waiting's probably the hardest thing on earth for me. I'm so impatient. Luckily, I was self-pay and didn't have to worry about waiting for the insurance company to finish hemming and hawing :)

Best of luck to you!

Dr. O is my doctor also. I am so happy with him. The whole staff is so nice. I had my surgery 10/27/09. I've had one fill and I go back next week for another. Good luck on your journey everyone!

      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.
