Starting Pre Op Diet Wednesday

new chapter in life

358 views

I have my Dr's visit on wednesday & will get all my stuff for the pre-op and then next Monday I have a mandatory lap band class. Has anyone else had to do this? Or is it just unique to my surgeons office---they said if I didnt attend, I couldnt have the surgery.

In the meantime--I am counting down the last days at work. I told my co-workers I am having surgery & they asked why, but I am NOT telling them. I just dont want to deal with the "how are you doing?" "how much weight have you lost?" or my worse case scenario--I fail & have to live with the fact I had surgery & still couldnt lose weight. Too much pressure!!

I know that this surgery wont make me prettier, younger etc--but what I will get is even better! I cant wait to buy/wear fashionable clothes. I can go horseback riding again!!! I can pursue all the athletic activities Ive missed.

and thats why this is a new chapter in my life!

HI

I am new to the lapband talk. I am 64 years old. I am scheduled for Dec. 5th. I am on my 5th of liquid diet--am

doing good so far. Are there any people my age out there that are going to or have been banded. My doctor

has offered to do sleeve plication along with my lap band. Has anyone had that done?

Hi Wandaldell

I am scheduled to be banded 12/12/11 if I am approved from my insurance company. If not, I'll have to wait till January. I am 61 yrs old. I haven't heard much about the sleeve. I've been on the liver cleanse diet for over a week now. I'm looking forward to a new way of life. Good luck on your adventure and keep in touch. I would love to hear how your surgery went yesterday.
