I'm having mine done the day after Thanksgiving, 11-27-09! I'm soooo excited. I entered my information on the group. I'm not even afraid of what the surgery might bring, because my whole family had the roux-en-y gastric bypass (except me I'm gonna be a bandster!). I think the only thing I'm really worried about is eating in public, and the "bandster hell" weeks 4-6 before I can get my fill.

I know! Do you have all ur stuff together?

yeah, everything is fine just my pcp decided to send the clearance at the last minute for giggles I guess. I have a morning surgery but I just don't know the time. I will get the check in time tomorrow morning I'm pretty anxious. Hope all goes well. As soon as I'm out I'll report here to let everyone know I'm alive and well.

Thanks for your well wishes. I am everything went fine. I was banded at 8;30 and by 6:00 pm was getting ready to leave when I suddenly weak and some nausea so I decided to stay overnight. My room was not like that but the the hospital was pretty nice and the service was excellent. I have not needed to use pain medicine I am just uncomfortable with gas. I am actually at back at work and the hardest part is controlling your desire to eat when everything you can not have smells so good.

Sorry to hear that you got the shakey knee syndrom so you had to spent the night. Just as well, just to be sure.

But I am amazed at your not using anything for pain. Wow, you must be doing fab-U-lous!!!! The gas pain would be enough for pain meds for me!!!:w00t:

I know what you mean about food smelling good, actually at this point it smells EXTRA good. I just posted in another thread that all of us that are getting banded this month and next month should get extra Kudos. EVERYTHING is about food, and you can't even go to the hardware store without Christmas Cookies, candies and other treats blaring in your face. The TV is full of shows and commercials with familys and food. At work it is homemade cookies, fudge, candies and any other holiday treat you can think of. Then of course you have all those holiday recipes that everyone trades at this time of year. Rediculous!!

Just keep strong, and keep posting here and checking in, and hopefully we can all stay strong together!:lol:

      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.
