Well guys wish me luck I will keep you posted thanks:tongue:

Congratulations I get my on Dec 8 can't wait...

I have the same thoughts as you do I get banded on tuesday dec 8 and all I keep thinking is im going to die or am i making the right choose. So today someone broke into my car and broke a window and told my mother in law that maybe it was a sign not to have surgery.lol But guess what we are doing the right thing for ourself and our kids. Girl I wish you luck everything will be great....

I am soooooo happy my dr. office called me today and we set up my surgery date I'm going to have surgery on Dec 8, @2:00 that's the only one the dr has left for the month of Dec. I any one have surgery that same day?

:w00t:I am so happy to have finally been approved for surgery. I didn't have any trouble with my insurance they said yes right away. Now Im just waiting for my Dr. office to call me to schedule my appt for surgery. I have two weeks off from Dec 17 to Jan 5 do you guy's think that would be ok to recover from the surgery? it would be two weeks. I can't wait to be a real part of this....

SOrry for this silly question but what happends when you get hiccups? I have not been banded yet in till Dec but i keep reading people that post they had hiccups and they get what? What does that mean I want to be well informed so when I get banded i could know what is going on..

How does it feel when food gets stuck do you feel like you are chocking?

SOrry for this silly question but what happends when you get hiccups? I have not been banded yet in till dec but I like to read what people have to say?

So all my test are done Im just waiting for my insurance to approve my surgery and i will be set. I have Blue cross so let keep our fingers crossed so its a go....:thumbup:

So today I went to see my nutritionist and she told me that Im going to have to start taking supplements:confused: and she give me a brochure for this product call Bariatric Advantage nutritional supplements so I went to the website but was lost:cursing:. Has anyone ever used this product? I would like to get some feed back before I place an order. She said that the supplements are for those of us that are going to have or had surgery they even sell protein. Let me know if you guy's use this and if you like it. I should start taking my supplements so I could get my body used to them.... Thanks guys.:thumbup:

Congratz......

So its been a week since I went for my nutrition consult and she has me on this diet that I have to eat 5 times a day and it's super hard cause I forget or im super busy and I have to keep a journal of my diet. I really need to do this right cause this is all i need to submitte to my insurance for my approval. but its super hard. Did anyone have to do this when you guy's went to your consult?

Hello new family lol I have a question does anyone on this site have there surgery done with either Dr. Robert Mckeen of san jose, ca, or Dr. Mark Vierra of monterey ca? I have seen both of them but I can't make up my mind :confused: of who I want to have my surgery done by? I would like to have feed back to see what the outcome was if you had your surgery by them. Thanks for all the support guys.:confused:

Good luck with your consult you will be fine we could all do this we just have to stick together like a family...

So today was my first nutriton consult and it was great I meet with this wonderful lady that seems to really want to help me. The only thing is that I don't think she is so for the surgery, she didn't striaght up say anything but you could feel it. She did give me alot of information. I start a diet today with lot's of protein and I have to have breakfast which i have never had time to do. The only thing is she told me it would take 6 visite for me to get any paper work to my doctor from her, Which means that my surgery might not happend in Dec which is not good. I only have the time off in dec. But just keep ur fingers crossed for me that we get her to change her mind and get some paper in sooner. HOw long did it take you guy's to get papers in from your nutritonist.

SO Im going to get banded on dec 18 but my question is I had panic attacks before and now Im on lexapro for them I have not had one in a long time which is great. but im just a little scared that they will come back. Does anyone who has had the surgery have the same problem like me with the panic attacks
