On June 14th I met with the doctor and began the journey of testing and evaluations. This coming Wednesday I will (hopefully) have my meeting to review my sleep study results and receive my final green light of clearance!

I am praying all goes well and that Amerihealth Insurance doesn't deny me after all these months of testing and anticipation.

I think a little puree turkey will do just fine this year for Thanksgiving… here's to crossed fingers for a November banding!!

Anyone else in the same boat?

I finally got my date and will be banded Nov. 26th! My doctor has me on a 10 day liquid diet. Not fun but, I am into day 2 and so far not too bad. Will not be going any where for Thanksgiving.....I think that will be too hard. I am nervous and excited all at the same time!

I'm so sorry! That gas pain is horrible!! Luckily it's just in my shoulder. I have been doing hot tea as well. I feel so bad for you' date=' having that much gas!! I hope tomorrow is better for us!![/quote']

Yeah...been walking making laps around my moms house, yesterday went to walmart and walked around for a little bit, went to get tea and gasx. I feel better today. No nausea this morning. Shoulder still hurts, but not as bad. Maybe this is the turning point! Lol!!

Good!! I'm feeling better today as well. Just don't over do the walking. Has to be a turning point. Are you going to or think you can do soup or cream of wheat today?

Yes warm liquids help with gas

Thanks, Ladymarshall!

I think I may try soup. My mom is going to make soup and I thought maybe I could blend it up or drink the broth off of it. I don't really care of cream of wheat. What about you?

I'm going to try cream of wheat with Splenda brown sugar, we will see how it go's. might try a protein shake in a bit.

By this time tomorrow I will be on the other side I can't wait.

I tried a protein shake yesterday and this morning! I just made 4 oz shakes and I could only finish half of them! Not because they weren't tasty, but because I feel full and bloated 24 hours a day!
