I'm october 7th.....wish you luck for the 1st.

My surgeon required 1 night inpatient and my insurance approved it.

My surgery is a week away as well and my preop is tomorrow.......I'm scared, nervous, but ready....I think lol

My surgery is a week from today.....I'm very nervous, but ready to unleash the thinner me lol.....I'll definately keep u posted

Congrats :-)

Congrats on your decisions and every insurance/surgeon has different requirements. My surgeon required everything listed in my signature. Good luck and keep us posted :-)

Try muscle milk light

I couldn't find a psy either, that had Lap Band experience and I wasn't going to spend $250 on theirs. I ended up using a Dr. Ejaz, I had to pay $150, she's doesn't take insurance

:cursing:So after my first date of 9/21/2009 being cancelled, my new surgery date is 10/7/2009. I'm ready, I've decided to continue with the pre-op diet until surgery day. :biggrin:

It's hard, but not as hard as I expected. I do get hunger headaches, but the protein shakes are good. I use Muscle milk light.

I tested positive for it and now use a cpap machine to sleep, uncomfortable, but not for long lol

a really good one is skymoon1982, but I will subscribe to yours today :-)

Thanks Lois, it's officially no surgery today, I'm now waiting for a new surgery date, but at least I was doing well on the preop diet lol.

I completed all required tests, went to every appointment, information was sent to ins company and approved....I got a date for Monday and may have to cancel it.....I got a insurance policy that does not require referrals, so I rarely see my pcp....I got a letter from my surgeon's office stating the hospital needs medical clearance from pcp, I knew that was going to be a problem....I went to see them yesterday and said they won't clear me without labwork and if they send me for it, it takes a week to come back......way beyond pissed.....I already got the time off from work.....I'm calling the surgeon this morning and seeing if its really necessary, they got everything else including insurance approaval.....pray for me

I definately understand your frustration.....I saw the psy on 8/20 and she didn't send my doc 9/1....I had to called like 6 times. Just know things go extremely fast there after

No gas pains yet, but hunger headaches. I'm scared about the clear liquid diet

Thanks Fightergirl :-)

Hey everyone, I'm 4 days away from surgery and currently on my liquid diet. Not easy at all, but making it through. I'm loving Muscle Milk Light and the sugar free pudding oddly enough. I do get hunger headaches and I tried to workout and sleep to try not to think about food. My surgeon makes his patients go to a required seminar for the lapband and I met a girl who shared an amazing youtube channel with me and her results are insipiring she lost over 100 pounds and her surgery was in jan 09, so I wanted to share her youtube with everyone Skymoon1982. Also, I got my insurance approval the same day it was submitted. I still can't believe this is really happening, it's starting to feel like everything is going so fast. I'm ready to begin this journey. Good luck everyone and stay focus.

Check out skymoon1982 on youtube

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Rachelle and I'm getting banded on Monday by Dr. Giess at Syosset Hospital. Preop diet is hard, but I love Muscle Milk Light as a protein shake. Good luck everyone

Hey everyone, I get banded in 4 days nervous, but ready.....also youtube to share with everyone skymoon1982, she's inspirational

Thanks a bunch and she is amazing, I started watching her since yesterday
