Hi Charley- My insurance would not cover mine, so I am going with cash. My company actually put a 'block' on baratric surgeries (I hate them-jk). I went to a free seminar on December 8th and scheduled surgery on Dec 28th. Im 3 days away and super nervous! It all depends on your tests though. Good luck!

2 weeks liquid only....during Christmas....DURING CHRISTMAS....! I did cheat on Christmas Eve. I ate. Crap. Oh well...Surgery is 12-28! 3 days to go! Whoo hoo!

Hi everyone! I have noticed as I have been reading the boards that so many doctors have different requirements for their patients for pre-op diets. Tomorrow is day 10 of my 14 day liquid only diet. I can have protein shakes, water, broth, and SOME chicken, tuna or turkey (very limited). I was really excited (I know this is HORRIBLE) because I am now able to eat yogart (I had a yeast infection so I 'had' to...) I am so sad because I really want to eat at Christmas...oh well. What was your requirements? :hungry:

Hi Shoegirl! Its so great to see yet another December 28th surgery! I love knowing someone else being 'banded' the same day! My surgery is at 8am on the 28th. Headache is better. Im cheating a little-I need some food! Ha!

Hi Azallboys- I am also from AZ-having my surgery on December 28th. Just wanted to say hi to a neighbor! Tracey

Hi Susan- Thanks for your response! Yes, I am on that awful liquid diet! I have the most HORRIBLE headache today from it too! How long after op. did you have a 'full' feeling when you ate? How long did it take for you to be able to eat 'normal' foods (I really want some hummus!) Thanks again-Tracey

Hello Friends! My name is Tracey and I am from Arizona. I am having my lap band surgery on December 28th. I am looking forward to it, but a little nervous. Just wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone!

Thank you guys for the suggestions and wisdom. This is awful! I couldn't even go to church this morning! I think it is a mixture of lack of caffeine and just being plain old hungry. Rebellerina-That is so cool that we have the same surgery date! We are very similiar in starting points too-I am 312 lbs and a BMI of 51. and we are the same age. It is so great to meet someone who is at the same exact place as you are-we can support one another though our whole process!

Hello Friends! I am Tracey, and I will be banded on December 28th. I am really excited! This is my third day on the liquid diet, and I can barely function today I have such a massive headache! Did this happen to anyone else? :help:
