Good luck hopeinapril, i am scheduled for the 26th. I cannot believe how fast everything went, I have to be there at 8:30am. I know the clear liquid diet SUCKS!! but it is going to be worth it

I am on day 2 of clear liquids and I didn't think I was going to make it this far. I have one more day of liquids and then off to surgery on the 26th at 8:30am I am now trying to get things together to take with me. Any suggestions?

Happy Easter all !! I am scheduled for the 26th and I am starting the clear liquids today. I am so excited and thankful that I am working Monday and Tuesday it will keep my mind off of food. I am enjoying some sf jello right now for my breakfast. I do wish I could have a cup of coffee it smells so good but I will live

I was told nothing to eat 8 hours before testing.

congratulations on your banding. I am scheduled for 3/26 and I am hoping I will be back to work within a week. What problem did you have after the procedure and how did you handle them? Was the gas pain bad? You can do it (stick with the liquids) I think it will get old real fast too but this is something we knew was going to happen sooner or later jut be positive and stick with it. You will be past that stage before you know it

Nurse Nikki, I am so excited for you,are you ready? Nervous,excited? Where are you having the procedure done? I am having mine at Barix by Dr. Ramos. I finally have a set date of 3/26. I cannot wait to hear everything about the procedure when you get back. I will be thinking of you

Good luck with the 2lbs and congratulations on being at your half way mark

I hope you get to feeling better and that it does not interfere with your procedure. Hope to hear from you after your surgery and good luck. What did they advise you to take with you to the hospital

Thanks that does help out alot. I figure the least to worry about the better. Thanks for the info

Congrat to everyone!!! My surgery date is 3/26 @ Barix in Ohio. I am so excited and happy for everyone. I know this is a step in my life to a better and healthier lifestyle. They have me on a 1500 calorie diet and gave me samples of different protein powders to try. Does anyone have a protein powder or shake that they love??

I am in Columbus and I am scheduled to have my procedure March 26th at Barix by Dr. Ramos. I just had my PAT today and I received a lot of information (great) the only thing I forgot to ask is what to bring with me the day of surgery. I do not want to bring a bunch of stuff I am not going to need. I also forgot to ask how long I will be off work afterwards. I put a call in for the work question but wanted to see if anyone out there can give me ideas of what was needed and not needed the day of surgery

where is the calendar on the home page? I wanted to add my surgery date but am not sure where to go on the home page to get to it.

I go in for my pat on the 5th and I am scheduled to be banded on the 26th

I also have UHC and it took them almost 2 weeks. I was amazed how quick it went thru. I am scheduled 3/26 and my pre testing is scheduled 3/5. Good luck on getting the approval. I know you are excited
