  1. Wow! I thought it was tough here with all the new insurance laws! I will be banded Dec.14 here in Tampa, Florida. I have Medicare and was not required to wait! I wish you the best! I do have a lot of weight to lose, I should weigh 150 lbs. And weigh 286. If you would like to keep in touch, you could, I would like that! My husband and children are very supportive, do you have good support?
  2. My banding is on the 14th. I am on my 5th day and also considered throwing in the towel! It was bad! Throbbing headaches, dizziness, nausea, extreme hunger, the works! Hang on! Today I woke up full of energy and not hungry at all! Don't stop keep going and don't forget to exercise!
  3. Thank you. I will still look for good advice! I am being banded on the 14th!
  4. Thank you all I appreciate your advice!
  5. I am on my 5th pre-op day and in need of some suggestions for liquids! Please!
  6. I was told by my doc that clear liquids only for preop! No food cause the liver needs to shrink before surgery! Boy, I wish I could eat at least a pickle! I was told that if you don't lose weight they may postpone the surgery!
  7. As long as you follow the "rules" of preop and postop you"ll be ok! People that i know have had problems are the ones that try to eat solids early!
  8. Don't be scared! When yo wake up you start fresh!
