My doctor doesn't require a pre-op diet either. I kept saying that i would do one anyway to be on the safe side but each day i have buckled and ate solids. They have been healthy solids just the same... I go for my pre-op testing tomorrow and will ask if I have any restrictions or requirments. Good Luck with your journey. And DONT beat yourself up about it. As long as you know and understand the rules your doctor did give you and plan to follow those you should do fine.

Good luck, keep us posted on your progress.

Congratulations!! I am scheduled for 11/9/09. Best wishes, keep us posted on your progress.

How 'bout the future "NOVEMBER KNOCKOUTS"??

Great name!!

Hi, fellow November Bandsters!

Does anyone else have a blog? If so, let's see it! Let's follow each other and be motivators!

Great Idea!! I just started mine on youtube

My surgeon will be doing the sil on me if my liver has shrunk. She said she would go through the belly button.. But if its bigger she would have to revert to standard laprospic procedure. Hope my liver is shrunken enough lol.

Has a name been giving to the november 09 bandsters group yet???

I won't know my time until I go for pre-op on 11/03/09. What time is yours? I am glad to find someone having it on the same day :wink2:

I am too lol. I have to be there at 9am for an 11am surgery I am second... My pre-op is the 3rd too lol. I dont have to do a pre-op diet at all. But I have been stressing

November 9th is my big day. Started my pre-op today.

Protein Shake for breakfast, then a lean meat and veggie for lunch and dinner.

I have the same date!!! What time are you scheduled 4x4?

Congrats!!! Give yourself time to heal and soon you will feel good as new. Glad everything went so well for you... I have 2 weeks from tomorrow until I am banded!!

I never check mine either... I figure it must be ok else I would be in pain, I go for my pap soon and the nurse can check then mine is cut real short too.

Glad to here your feeling so good, and Happy. Congrats on the weight loss so far. I can't wait to be in your shoes lol 17 days and counting until I jump on the "band" wagon lol.

My surgery date falls on a monday so I took off the rest of the week and am thinking that depending on how that week goes I can take more time off if I need it. Hopefully I will be one of the lucky ones who bounce back... I have a desk job too so it shouldn't be so bad... Plus would love to save my vacation time if I can...

11/09/09 is my date! keep in touch and let me know how things go for you.

Hi all,

Is anyone else getting that last supper feeling??? I gave up soda in june and have been doing well with out it, and today i broke down and had one with lunch, now I can't stop thinking about leaving work and bringing home a six pack, LOL. Does anyone else feel like or plan on having a last hurrah??

Ok my surgery is scheduled for 11/9/09. YAY!!! My doctor said we dont have to do a pre-op... But I kinda wanna do one anyway. Can someone who had or has to do it please tell me the rules... Also what does the pre-op physical consist of?

Good Luck!!! I am scheduled for 11/9/09!!! My Doc said i didnt have to do a liquid pre-diet... I just have to be NPO after Midnight the night before... I want to do the liquid diet anyway So if anyone can give me the rules for it I would appreciate it... also do you guys have to do a pre-op physical? What does that consist of?

Thanx

Hi all,

I just got my surgery date today. I am scheduled for 11/09/09!!!! yay finally lol. Does anyone have to do a pre-op physical? what does it consist of?

I called today (exactly 2 weeks later). They said they will call me either later today or tomorrow to set up a date. My Surgeon usually does mondays and tuesdays for surgery so hopefully I will be a band member by Turkey Day!!

I called insurance company and they said they have recieved NOTHING from hospital yet!!! The insurance lady even checked the fax with me holding to Dble check. I am kinda annoyed because i was led to believe it was pending approval... It cant be approved if it doesn't yet exist to the Insurance company. The surgeon said they would call within 2 weeks so i will wait until tuesday and then I am calling them and my Insurance to see what the hold up is. I am trying to be patient but it is SOOO hard. LOL hopefully by this time next week I will have more info....

Congrats!! I am playing the waiting game now. I should be called sometime this or next week...Just waiting on insurance approval... Best Wishes

I saw the surgeon a week ago today. She said they would contact me after they get my insurance authorization, which I could expect a call within two weeks. And that I was looking at a date in late October or early November. Can I call today to check the status? I dont want to be a pain... but my boss needs to know sooner then later because he is creating the next two months schedule. Or should I just be patient until next week?

Hi everyone thanx for the support...Yesterday I went to my appointment. The nutritionist was very understanding and gave me helpful tips on how to be mindful of what I am eating. I was weighed (ugh) and I actually lost 7lbs!!! since last I was there. I then met with the surgeon who answered all of my questions and she said that I was looking at a late October early november date. YAY!! she also said to NOT gain one single pound and if I can lose more that would be great.

I am sooo excited now.

Best wishes to everyone
