I have my date sch for feb 5th... i have not lost any new weight yet after gaining from the holidays.. i'm trying. they said excersise 6 days every week, low sugar and high protein.. so i wonder if i should do some liquid diet for at least 2 meals then a light dinner. I hate to call them, some of the women are not exactly nice. :eek:

Hi I'm mIchelle and i hope to be banded the same day, so we have to stay in touch! I will call the Dr next week to see if the will sch. me. I just need the date and I can relax and really focus on my preop diet. I have the approval.. So Nice to meet you..:smile:

:tongue: Hi all, I'm michelle and I am waiting on a date for surgery.. I have posted some stuff already. all the info I have been reading is very helpful and i'M GRATEFUL FOR THE SUPPORT. i'll be lurking around learning and making small steps to improve my life. I have a great supportive husband and a work place that supports me in my new changes to come. I work in the dental field.; I restore teeth all day. talk about yuck sometimes.. lol any way.. BMI 39.5 height 5'2 weight 216 goal 120-130 ish..? not really set one yet, I guess I have to talk to the DR to find out what he wants me to shoot for Goal wise.. talk to you all soon. M.:wink:

:wink: well today i faxed 10 days of logs.. i've worked out 3 days this week and i'll be back on sunday.. I do understand , but i do know now its to shrink your liver, i just wish they would have said that in the first place. the person who was rude called today, her tone was much better. so i hope to hear from them early next week with a potential date for the end of the month. so that gives me over 2 more weeks of pre op diet and excerise. I do feel better that i'm working out again. my mood will be improving soon.. it already has. :tongue: Have an approval waiting on date from surgeon..

I had major keliod scarring on my leg from a childhood accident. they finally are all flat, light, pale. So i guess when i have the surjery if i get them, i wont freak out beacuse my legs looked terrible for years. thhey are still very scared from27 operations but I can walk and hopfully when I loose the weight It wont be a big deal. but i'll buy some of the products mentioned before the months out... Hopefully sch. at the end of the month... I have a approval!!!!!

My Dr. wants 4 weeks of logs to show that I am commited to the new my lifestyle. If i could I would not of been seeking his help for my obesity! So I called today to try to sch. my date, one of the employees was so rude, desensitized to my needs; it made me cry again. I felt so bad and on display and pissed off. I called and spoke to office manager and reported her for her lack of support and compassion. I work in healthcare (Dentistry) and I understand how we become " ok, ok you have a tooth ache, yeah yeah let me see!" Well i'll go back to work tomorrow and have a better understanding of pain with my patients. It was done to me and I did not appreciate it. Ok anyway... i need 3 more weeks of diet logs and excersise before they will sch. me. I had no idea that they needed logs faxed to them weekly. I have my approval from the insurence. That was a nitemare. I all wanted was the date sch for 3 weeks and then I would fax them weekly as time passes. I guess I could have lied about what I have been doing for the last month but the 5lbs i gained over the holidays would not reflect that. i'm so upset!!!!!!!!! :angry

Ok tonight i received my approval.. I call tomorrow to sch. to sch surjery. my initial appt was in oct.. they wanted me to start the diet. But in that time I received a denial.. so its now 2 months later and yes i could have lost weight but i felt so helpless so I have not started any diet. I know my dr will be pissed but whatever. I start tomorrow of 2-3 Protein shakes a day and I light meal. I'm a little nervous of what hell say but i can handle it. :paranoid BMI 40 Have no idea what i weigh.. have not recently. not been very happy or motivated... Michelle
