Hi,

Im new to this site and new to the lap band world. I went for my consult with my surgeon...He approved me for surgery on 4/26...I started my pre-op with blood work that day.

On May 2, I did my upper gi series and chest x-ray, i dont need an ultrasound because i already had my gallbladder removed.

I probably wont have surgery till the end of the summer, my insurance requires i meet with a nutrionist 6x, which takes about 3 months...

 

Im looking for any advice and tips please!!!

Welcome and congratulations on making a great decision for yourself. You're in the excited anticipation phase, but it'll be here before you know. Feel free to add me or send any questions. I was banded 12/18/09 and I'm down 84lbs (I'm purposely doing mine slower) it feels great and it's honestly one of the best things I've ever done for myself! So welcome!

Hi welcome, I am a newbie myself...I just started my 2wk liquid yesterday...I'm not sure on how to do the liquid tho. I would think it's to drink the supplement 3times a day. But I'm so nervous that I am going to eat something and mess up before my surgery...My girlfriend did the gastric bypass and she was telling me it's gonna be a routine after 3days and i am really hoping that's true because I am currently hungry and currently drinking water...
