October 2009 Surgery Date?



Recommended Posts

Soexcited - I think that's normal - you will be fine...just remember all the reasons why you want to do this!

Anoush - it was good to meet you too....how long is the nurse assesment thing at the hospital? I still need to call them for that (thanks for the reminder, lol). I have my appt with Dr. Q. this afternoon.

I am getting very excited (and a tad nervous)...it's right around the corner :wink2:

Gina, The nurse assessment should be maybe an hour. That's what she said when I made the appointment. They do the whole history --- your past surgeries, etc...and what meds you take. I'll let you know tomorrow when I get back from it.

Good luck today. We're coming into the home stretch! I'm so ready! Are you going to the support group meeting tonight? If so, I'll see you there.

I had my surgery on October 1st and everything is going great so far. Only thing is I had no idea how often I drop things on the floor and have to pick it up - just so painful.

That is so true... I wasn't instructed to do much prior. Then kept reading people's posts and blogs and they say they had diets before hand. Just checking to make sure I didn't miss anything.

So you are banded on Oct 16th?

Yep the 16th... and I am so ready!

Hey Angelcake, We're band sisters...my date is 10/19 also.

I started the 2 week liquid diet on 10/5. Not enjoying it at all, but it's what the doc ordered. What kind of prep are you involved in?

      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.
