Hey Munkee'sMommy! Congrats! We share the same surgery date. Two weeks from today! I just started the pre-op diet today....so far so good, but I'm not loving the Protein Drink (too sweet) but it'll do!

Keep in touch and congrats on the great news!

Best,

Nooshie:thumbup:

YAY FOR US!!!!! I have had a pre-op diet for the past 3 months. They make us slowly low carb to 15 carbs per meal, then liquids for 2 days. I am so SICK of this diet!!! Can't wait to get my band, but you know, I am getting nervous now. I'm shocked at that. Getting nervous. Protein drink too sweet? I don't think my tounge recognizes that term LOL!! Sorry, my computer has been crazy, we need to be band buddies and stick togeter! Good luck Noosh, let me know how you are doing so far.

I finally got it.....I'm APPROVED! My insurance will cover 100% of it too. BCBS of AL is great!

I have my surgery in 2 days and am so happy.

I have BCBS of AL and they are telling me I have to pay 50%. :biggrin: So far, the hospital says only the co pay. I'm going with the hospital until further notice. I don't know anyone that had to pay out like 10 grand, so I doubt I will. And if I do, I'll just send what i can, when I can because in the end it will so be worth it. Congrats.

Hi, I'm new to talking on the threads.. My surgery date is scheduled for 10-15-09. My last visit with Dr. Moran is Tuesday then I have to do some pre-op at the hosp. I've been reading post after post and am excited, nervous and hoping for the best. Good luck to everyone that is having the LAP-BAND® surgery this month. I

Mee too, Mee too!!! U R with Me and Nooshie! YAY!!! I can't wait. i'll be having mine in Dothan AL with Dr. Scott Robbins. I like them, but he sure doesn't play. We better act right. Inflated liver= no band. So I am being good. GOOD LUCK!!!!:biggrin:

My surgery is Oct 14th..Today is my 1st day of the liquid diet...My hubby's surgery is Oct 27th. We were trying to get the same day or week but he had work conflicts. I cant wait!

It's been a week of appointments for me. Monday met with the surgeon (took my husband) and ran into an acquaintance from one of our support group meetings. Hadn't seen her since she was banded in July and she looked amazing! Having her there to ask questions, with my husband listening, was great and gave him a lot of reassurance that it was going to be okay!

Yesterday was the 3 hour nutrition class. We went over Protein and Calcium requirements, she gave good sources for mail-order places that have chewable Vitamins, gave out prescriptions for our pain meds for surgery/after, and a little card that the doctor prepared for us when we go out to eat that says we should be able to order off the senior or child's menu or order at a reduced price since our stomach's will only hold 2 oz.

Tomorrow is my pre-op physical and nurses assessment.

So far so good. Day 7 of the liquid diet. Doing okay. it's not terrible....the weight is not coming off me like I thought it would though. Have lost 4 pounds. I'm so excited. it's just a week and a day away.

Monkee's Mommy...keep in touch and let me know how you're doing. We can be buddies.

Gina, so great to meet you at class face to face rather than reading your post. Good luck to you!

Well I got sick. Stupid sinus infection. Surgery date is postponed. October 28. Oh well, Murphy's law I suppose. I will get there, and hey a few day's to eat solid food before the liquid diet again for 2 weeks. But, I can't take any chances too risky to be sick and go into surgery. Gotta be 100%

[Soexcited 64]

OK now I am getting so nervous that I am second guessing myself. I have all my pre op appointments next Monday and Tuesday so this is the point of no return for me. HELP why do I feel like this????
