I wish you the best of luck and hope all goes well. Please check back and let us know how you are doing.

Keep in mind, you will need to walk, walk, walk after the surgery to get rid of the gas you are going to have in your upper back, neck and shoulder area. Some people used GasX, so have some on hand. I just walked a lot and it went away within a few day.

This is the best gift you could give yourself, so be prepared to work hard and lose weight.

I wish you the very best! Keep in mind everything happens for a reason so the 29th is the magical day! Bklynike could not have said it any better..as soon as you can..get up and walk, walk, walk and when you think you have walked enough..walk some more!! I have lost 120 lbs in 10 months..I have absolutely no regrets...well maybe one..not doing it sooner!! I wish you the very best on your journey and stay in touch with us!!

Good Luck you'll do great! Keep us posted :-)

Congratulations! I was scared and nervous and second guessed myself the days before surgery, almost like "why did it have to come to this?" and "what if I tried this diet instead?"...but there is a reason that you went through the lapband approval process to get you where you are today. Like so many of us, those other diets don't work for us!

The first day will be okay, the second to fifth days will be harder, everyone is right, walk, walk walk...it's just gas pain...and I did take Gas X strips and they worked great! By the end of the first week, you will be so happy that you made this decision to be healthier! I had my surgery on 8/11 and with the preop diet and lapband, I have already lost 32lbs! I look better, I feel better and I'm wearing clothes I haven't worn in years! You will be thrilled with your decision! Good luck!
