Hey there! My surgery is also 10/14 and I am having a hard time with the pre-op diet. After day two I had such a sever migraine I had to go get a shot! I cannot miss any work b/c of next week! What can you have on your pre-op diet? We can do it!!!!

10/14 in da house! :frown:

Hey there.. I am being banded on 10/14 and I have alot of the same feelings of anxiousness. My biggest fear is failure....what if it works then all of the weight comes back? What if it doesn't work at all? What if I eat around my band and cheat with slider foods? I think that almost everyone goes through this in one aspect or another....hang in there!!!

October 14th in da house!

Hey guys... October 14th Surgery Date for me... :tongue2:

Is there anybody out there that has Dr. Lana Nelson? I thought Dr. Keith was my surgeon but just found out Dr. Nelson was...which I am fine with!

Does anyone know of anyone that has failed this or been denied due to this test? I wonder how long it takes to clear the blood? I have quit for about a month or so, but slipped a little over the weekend. I wonder when it will be safe for me to pass the blood test? I have passed all of my insurance requirements 6 month pre-op diet, psych eval, dietetic consult, etc. My insurance called me this morning and told me I was approved...yaaayyyy...but I am scared about being denied for the blood test that I will probably have to take next week. I can't beleive I did that this weekend....I could seriously KICK myself! Anybody???

Hey! I am not 100% sure, but I am aksing for October 1. When are you planning on returning to work? I work in accouting/finance and was hoping to be banded on Thursday and back on Monday.

You know, I have no idea. It seems people have such vast differences as to what they had to do in each of their "sessions" it seems some have had a comprehensive in depth "exam" while others just "chatted" for 15 minutes or so. I have no clue as to what it is that they are looking for. I have yet to hear about mine, so I guess we will see!

I am so sorry to hear that! I have been worried about how mine went. I guess you never know. A friend of mine at work-her brother had rny and had to go to several sessions before they gave him the green light. I guess we can just take this time to work on all of oureslves instead of just the physical....mind-body-spirit to ensure ultimate success! Keep your head up.....:biggrin:

Okay...sorry about the signature....I am trying to do my ticker!

Hey there! I am feeling anxiety too...I am hoping for surgery in September and keep thinking to myself "am I doing the right thing?" You are on the right track by educating yourself and drawing support from those with experience. I am just hoping the time goes by quickly while I am waiting!!! :w00t:

Great! Thanks for all of the replies! I don't even know why I am wondering about it so much! I am just so anxious about everything! :biggrin:

Hi! I am scheduled for my pre-op psych eval on Wednesday 8/26 and was wondering what kinds of questions do they ask and what is the goal of the "session"? I know everyone probably has a variation, but I was curious of what was in store for me! Thanks everyone!

Hello everyone! I was excited to see a group of beleivers sharing about their lap band experiences! I have been through my 6 month insurance requirement and am now waiting on the surgeon's office. THEY ARE SSSSOOOO SLOW! Anyway, hoping to be banded in late September early October. :thumbup: Blessings!

I have not been banded yet, waiting for all of the hoops to come around so I can jump through them...lol. I have done protein shakes before, and I really like the Isalean shakes made by Isagenix. They are a bit pricey but cheaper than buying a bunch and throwing them away! I have tried several and am hoping that my surgeon says it is okay for shake portion. I guess it is a matter of taste...I tried Muscle Milk before and the Muscle Milk Light and I did not like them.

Hey there! I have dealt with a lot of the same feelings going back and forth about which is a better option. It seems to me that the band is much safer and produces the same if not better long term results. I think that you have to "follow the peace" think about each option and do what you feel more peaceful about. What is right for you may not be right for your neighbor. Good luck and keep me posted! I am hoping to be banded in late September/early October.:tongue2:
