Well it seems like things have really changed since these posts were made! I just completed my fourth and last Ins required weigh in with TR! I have seen the nutritionalist and the PA every time and will be meeting the surgeon the week of surgery (Sept 27). I don't know about the horribly long wait times as my appts are always at 8am! I hope everyone is going great! Would love some feedback from veteran bandsters

Im on Phoenix. Will you be coming down for the surgery? If you come down for fills maybe we could meet up and have coffee or Clear liquids and talk lol

I'm not in Surprise, but am going through TR for my surgery in Sept. glad to know I need to schedule ahead of time for fills and such! Thanks for the great info!

How is everyone doing now post op? Please tell everyone how your journey is so far!

I want your current surgery date of you can move it up! I am currently penciled for the 27th as long as the Ins approves me in time! Please keep me posted! I will private message my number if you could text me if you change your date that would be awesome?! I just want this done and over with so I can start my journey

Seen the nutritionalist today and my weight went up 6lbs which takes me up to a BMI of 55 I need to lose 2-3lbs a week until surgery. I was told if my BMI is 50 or higher pre surgery then I will be on a 3 week pre op diet( 2 shakes and a sensible meal) and the post op diet is 4 weeks(1wk liquid 2wks mush and 1wk introducing solids) I asked how likely it is to get my surgery Sept 19 and was told that's a great date to shoot for! I'm very excited to start my journey and just wish it was September already! I need to work on eating slower and smaller bites still and I went and tried to get a food scale but they don't carry them so I will try a different place tomorrow! I already bought my gas x I am trying different Protein drinks now so I know what I like when it time to only being able to drink the Protein Drinks. How is everyone else doing today?!

Let me know if you move your date up! I want your current surgery date! Hehe mine is penciled in for the 27th as long as the INS approves me in time BUT I want to get it done and over with ASAP! I think I might have the same Dr... Wait just thinking about it I was told surgery is only on Thursdays and Fridays? Maybe it's just the surgeon that was assigned to me? Hmmmm

Haha who knows what I was trying to type on my not so smart phone! I will be on a 3wk pre op diet for surgery

Premier Protein chocolate and vanilla flavor

I'm still pre op but I want/need to lose the average size man to get to my goal!

Thank you! Same to you

I can't believe how fast the summer went! All done with all the hoop jumping now "patiently" waiting for Ins approval!

Yay! Hope you get the approval soon! Please keep us all posted! Where are you located? I am in Phoenix Az and always looking for bandsters around here!

Every doctor is different! Might depend on your BMI. I have a higher BMI of 55 so my pre op will be 3weeks

I think everyone is doing awesome with their pre op diets slip ups and all! W are all human and going from being able to eat and drink any and everything to only being able to have a few Protein shakes and a small meal a day is rough for all of us! I will be starting my pre op either Aug 29 or Sept 6 depending when I can get a confirmed surgery date! I am going to try my best not to slip, but if I do I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I am going to get back up dust myself off and learn from it! Every meals a new chance to make better choices!

I feel the same exact way! My surfers not until end of September though so no success YET!

Yay! Congrats! How are you feeling? Who was the surgeon?

I am also using True Results Scottsdale! I was there yesterday for my last Ins required weigh in! Now I'm just waiting for the call with my official surgery date! I am penciled in for Sept 27 as of right now if Ins approves me, but I am hoping to have the surgery moved up a week *fingers crossed!*

For some reason it's a no-no on my pre op diet!
