Welcome! Who is your provider?

Better safe than sorry.......go now!

So sorry to hear you're feeling down. I can relate to the new diet each day, and you really, in my opinion, have the right idea. Each day is a new beginning, and even though you may feel like you fail each day, you are not a failure, because each day, you re really trying. Perhaps you might need to go back to basics. Go back to your discussions with your dietician and your psychologist. That info is your foundation. And even though you my have gotten off track a little, the foundation is still sure. And, most of all, forgive yourself! Give yourself another chance. You deserve it!:teeth_smile:

The preop diet, from my understanding, is a precautionary measure. I have my surgery on tomorrow, and I slipped big time (not yesterday or today though). But, I will be at the hospital bright and early. So, my advice would be to get up, brush yourself off, and get back on track. Not sure why, but some doctors dont require a preop diet. Some who have surgery in Mexico are sent off form their "last meal" the evening before surgery. Best wishes!

UPDATE! My date is now Monday the 28th. I got a few scant moments ago that I was being pushed up from Tuesday to Monday. Yeh!

Hi Debski,

I'm sorry to hear of your boil. I have a family member who is diabetic, and have had some experience myself. I honestly cant say if there would be a problem, but I'm guessing that this is very common, and diabetes is very common among overweight people. Some have ongoing boils. But yes, you might want to call your doctor. I have my final clearance on tomorrow, and will ask my doctor if there is a general rule.:confused2:

Hilarious!!

Love your post!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,

I actually left my work in December, and will return in August (teacher burnout, but need the money, and miss the kids). While working, I had bc/bs il hmo, and encountered the exact same run around. :scared2:

Hi, My date is July 29th with Dr. Lufti. Can you share your experience? Thanks

I just read you post from about a year ago. And, all I can say is thank you! What a powerful message!

How did the surgery go? How much have you lost? I have cheated also, only big time?

LOTS OF NERVOUS EXCITEMENT. TIME IS FLYING BY. GOT INSURANCE APPROVAL THIS WEEK. TAKING ECO ON JULY 15TH AND FINAL PRE-OP VISIT ON 22ND.

BEST WISHES TO ALL!!:thumbup:

Hi All,

My name is Mickey, and I'm scheduled for banding on July 29th. I am pretty nervous/excited, and I might even be having a few second thoughts. No unusual for me, as I tend to change my mind alot.

I look forward to getting to know you guys.
