Coming to you from Toronto Canada, we don't have coverage for this up here, so investing $16,000 on ME! I am booked for April 4th. Just finishing 3rd day of preop which for me is 3 Protein Shakes per day for a total of 750 cals. Can also have up to 250 cals of select green veggies, but so far I have stuck to celery. Can't wait to be referred to as "skinny" LoL

Wow Some how I was lucky enought to have my insurance pay the whole thing. The only thing is I have to go 7 hours to and from the surgery the same day but they are driving me there and back. I just don't want to be in a lot of pain for the trip home. Good luck to you!

Hi moonlited. I'm getting my band in April...the 12 to be exact. I also live in the bay area of California but I am going to Mexico to get mine.

My mom had hers done in Mexico...great doctor, great service, beautiful facility etc...everything was going good til it slipped. Then US doctors refused to work on it. Different band they put in and liability reasons. HAD to have it removed as she was sooo sick! In hospital etc...took it out, it was stamped "sample not for use."

Not telling you not to get banded, I will be banded in April...just know the Mexican one can save a couple $ but long term it can be devastating.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
