Oh, my gosh you really had some really serious issues, so very "Happy" that everything went well for you.. You must have been on pins and needles with all the variables especially the Proctor coming in for a vacation. Trying to be positive either way, thanks so much for the good wishes. Same to you!

My diet is a 10 day liquid diet of high protein shakes, broth, sugar free Jello and pop cycle's. Since I am also having problems with really bad leg cramps, surgeon told me to have bananas also. Hope the snow allows me to not have to post pone till next week. I am from Delaware just next store to you, live close to Dover. I think everyone is scared, this is the unknown. But what helps me keep positive "NOW" is that, yea the diet sucks but it is such a short time in my life, compared to the lenght of time I have battled obesity and God willing there will be some "Awesome" changes in my life and yours .........Thanks for your good wishes and the best of luck to you as well!! Will keep in touch

Thanks so much, just trying to think happy thoughts and hope and pray that a snow storm doesn't post pone my surgery one more week

Thanks, yea giving food it's marching papers, is a good one!!!!!!!!!! Glad to hear that I am not the only weepy one out there. Just hope a snow storm doesn't post pone my surgery one more week. Thanks Lori

Hi, I am having surgery this week, not scared of the procedure at all, have had many major surgeries on my spine in the past. But I am crying all the time, which is definitely not me. I am also a diabetic, my sugar levels are fine...........am so happy to start my new life, but can't expalin my feelings. Has anyone else out there experienced this? Also feeling very weak on the pre- surgery diet, getting enough calories. Has anyone else experienced this? Any help you could provide, would really be appreciated............Thanks Lori

Reading your post just made me realize that the importance of the pre/post diets and the reason behind them. I am having surgery this Friday and feeling so sick of the diet and worried I might have to be on the Pre-diet one more week, due to a snow storm. But I realized after reading your post gave me the courage......... that its just one more week and that I am so very blessed to be able to change my life this way................after 15 yrs of obesity! Has anyone out there had problem with serious cramping in there legs? My surgeon told me to eat banana's and Tums. Thanks Lori

Cherea, Thanks, I believe you are so right, I look at before and after photos and it's just so amazing!!! The reality of having control of my life again is behond words................Lori

Thank you so much...............Lori

I also have RA and Spinal Stenios talking Clebrex and having infusion with Remicade. Having surgery this Fri. and Surgeron told me the preference is to stop NSAIDS but it is stil doable, just have to watch you closer. But to qualifly for the Lap Band you need to be typically over a 100lbs.............Wish you luck
