I see the nutritionist the 25th not the 23rd. Two more days than what I was thinking I am excited though my mom has a appointment with my surgeon on Wednesday. I know I will have my surgery first but in the end we will be going through the journey together. Once my nutritionist sends in my paper work on the 25th my surgeons office said I should hear back from then in about a week. There is so much support on this site! I am so glad to be able to asking any question and be able to read everybody’s journey. Thanks everyone

I haven't scheduled my surgery date yet but 6/23/12 is when my nutritionist and I will talk about diet to shrink my liver. My doctor requires 1 month of this diet. I'm scared because for this last month I have been cheating and I want to make sure I can get myself back on track. Guess I just need some kind words to help me!

Thanks everyone!

I have a month left before I send everything in for approval. I am really hoping to be approved! I am 4'11 and 245 so my BMI is about 50 :'( I also have asthma. Which didn't really start until I gained alot of weight. I have to say this site is helping me a lot with getting myself ready. My biggest fear is failure but you never know unless you try.

I have tried so many diets like everyone it never worked. That is why I am ready to be banded to help me lose this weight. Just scared for failure. You hear about it so just something I think everyone who has had this surgery has thought at least once.

Its ok to be neverous. I havent even set my date for my surgery and i am scared beyond belief. I have a month left before i start my liquid diet. I wish you luck and just remember the reason you are on this journey! and plus you have all of us to help you through this

I am 24 and I'll be banded in August

Thanks! Glad to know we all have each others back! Really don't feel alone

This is a hard one for me as well. I love root beer. It's a lot harder to stop drinking sodas than it was when I quiet smoking

My doc said the same. If I have a fatty liver he will stitch me up and make me wait.

I have mine pierced and have had them for 3 yrs. They do hurt of course when you get them done but I kinda think they help the sex life a little

Hi, I live in Cecil County Maryland. I am doing my pre op requirements as well. I will be banded in August. I can't wait. But would like to have someone to share stories with.

Thanks everyone!! I talk to my doc again tomr. I would rather the all liquid as well but mine is for a month. That might be hard. But I have to put my mind to it. I can do this

Yup I have UHC

What kind of food can you eat on the liver shrinking diet? or is it all liquid? I know I have to stop being hard on myself I've made it this far and I want this so bad! I am ready to make this change and be healthy again

My insurance was the same I had to show proof. So I've been seeing a dietician once a month. I am on my fifth visit so only 1 more to go. But I must say I have learned alot as well as she has answered alot of my questions. To me it is helping me get ready.
