Hello Everyone: I am 2 days post-op; I had my surgery on April 16th. So far I am doing ok in the pain department. However, I am feeling the same way, I am having a hard time figuring out how much to eat, feeling weird all the time and regretting the surgery. I keep asking myself over and over again what I have done. I am trying to stay positive but it is hard. Please keep me in prayer. Thanks!

Thanks Tyme4Change. Good Luck and God Bless to you as well!!!

I just wanted to ask everyone to please keep me in your prayers as tomorrow (4/16) is my big day. I’m counting down the hours now -- I am so nervous and excited at the same time about being banded. My surgery is scheduled for 11:30 am, have to be at the hospital at 9 a.m. I have made successfully through 7 days of liquid diet. Wasn’t sure how I would do. Yes, it was hard but I was determined and I did it. Thank you everyone for all of your advice – It has really helped me!

Hey This is the end of day 2 on liquids. It's really not bad that bad, I was expecting the worst. I have to have at least 80mg Protein each day and less than 50 calories. Suprisingly, I haven't been as hungry. My surgery date is April 16th. Stay encouraged and good luck!

I have offically started my liquid diet today, surgery is scheduled for April 16. All I have is 3-4 cans of Protein shakes per day, and any liquid with zero calories and zero carbs for 7 days. So far so good - I know it will rough but well worth it! Good luck and much success to all the April Avengers

What happened to the Information and Resouces section? I want to show my husband the LB video. I have been searching for day to no avail. Please direct me ot it's new place. :confused2:

Hello Angie4big: I would love one as well. I am pre-band and do not have any recipes as of yet. Let me know where to send the money.

April 16th is here, I am soooo excited. Congrats and Good Luck. I wish everyone much success.

Congrats and Good Luck.

Thanks for responding. I live in Clinton.

After I completed all of the testing and evaluation. My paperwork was submitted on March 6. I received a call from the scheduler on March 14 stating I was approved. I was practically in tear. I was orginally told it would take a couple of weeks and that I neded a letter from my PCP. I never got the letter from PCP and they still submitted my paperwork, I guess I didn't need it after all.

Hello everyone, It's been months since I have posted anything months since leaving Kaiser. I started back lurking the boards 2 month ago when I started the process with BCBS. My scheduled the surgery date is April 16, 2008. I am extremely excited and scared at the same time. :biggrin::thumbup: The surgeon is Dr. Marc Rickford at Comprehensive Weight Loss Center in Washington, DC. I am trying to prapare myself by reading everything here to ensure I am ready and know what to expect. I will have to do 1 week pre-op liquid diet, not sure what as of yet. Take care for now.....
