My paperwork was submitted AND approved today! YIPEE!!! July 7 must be a popular date. It's now my date, too! Don't forget to go to the July 2009 board and post your date there, too. Juniper is compiling a list of all the different July folks and their dates.

Cute! I'll have to remember that one!

How do I get the July 09 Freedom Fighters for my signature?

I guess I did get the ball rolling for everything. Honestly, I thought it was taking way too long. Once I made up my mind I did everthing I could. I'm still amazed my insurance is covering everything.

Wow, Chad, you really did get it done quickly. I am in Greensboro, and we only have 3 surgeons in the same practice that do lap bands. I started with the seminar in NOVEMBER and am going to be banded July 7. I didn't even have my first consultation till Jan 22 (and I signed up immediately after the seminar). I guess Raleigh has it goin' on!

Chad to get the tag in your signature you have to copy "code" you find the one you want (there are several version on the site) you right click on it and copy as URL- then go to Edit Signature, and paste that code into the signature box where you want it- then preview signature to make sure it shows up, then save signature.... that should hook you up.

If you have problems PM me- I am around most days.

      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.
