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 :-)

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

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.

so my surgery is exactly 7 days from today.....nervous and excited all at the same time. Everything is happening really fast, but I'm mentally prepared lol. The preop diet is a lot more difficult then expected, but I do like my protein shake choice Muscle Milk Light actually really good. Nervous but ready, any addtional advice or words of encouragement would definately be appreciated......Thanks everyone

Congratulations......I wish you all the best on your journey. I begin my preop diet today as well.

Good luck on your journey

Awwwww thank you that was sweet......good luck on your journey as well

I got the phone call today that my surgery is 9/21/2009. I'm excited because I officially start my preop diet and begin my future, but I'm I honestly wasn't expecting it to be so soon......EXCITED!!!!!! :mad:

Remember the band is a tool and you have to do your part, which includes watching what you eat and excerising. You can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on the decision :-)

Lmao@nkara

Hey....Dr. Giess in Syosset

Be confident in yourself....you can do it....I can't wait to get a date and approval

wow that was intensive....mine was 45 minutes of talking to the psy.....I do hope you passed as well.

wow....congrats and thanks for the motivation :-)

I would contact my insurance and make sure it is covered and what the requirements are. Definitely research and find a surgeon because he may have different requirements as well. The surgeon usually knows what the insurance requirements....congrats on your decision and good luck on your journey :-)

Congrats and good luck on your journey

Remember the band is a tool.....you're already preparing yourself for a let down.....you can do it..l..best of luck

Go MarMar Go MarMar....Congrats!!!!

Welcome......you're hilarious.....on a serious note, I'm in the same boat as you, I refuse to have kids unless I lose 100 pounds
