First Appointment Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I meet with the Bariatric Nurse... the first step in the process (well, second if you count the seminar).

Im very excited but very pukey at the same time. As a result of my nerves I want to make a list of questions to ask. Unfortnatly the same pukeiness is giving me a brain cramp and can't think of all the questions I have had in the past.

What questions did everyone ask on thier 1st visit?

Thanks for the help!

I have my first appointment with the Dr. tomorrow too. Like you, I am really nervous and hope I can remember to ask some of the things I've been thinking about. There is so much to this lapband thing and this is my second appointment I've made to see the Dr. I chickened out 3 weeks ago. I guess what is really motivating me the most is my youngest daughter. She is getting married next March and I would so like to lose 50Lbs by then!!

Good luck tomorrow and I'm going to try and follow you here and keep up with how you're doing. Btw, if I'm not beening too nosy, how much weight do you need to lose? Where do you live? I live in Jacksonville, Fl. and am going to Dr. Cywes at jacksonville surgical center. I have 2 friends that have gone to him and both are doing really well.

Again, good luck and try not to be too nervous about everything, lol Look who's talking!!:thumbup:

      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.
