i didnt do the imaginary lap band , but i did start doing the shakes before i was supposed to so i could get an idea of what i liked and kind of whean myself off food. you'll be able to lose weight doing the pre-op diet early Good luck!

i am 5 days out and feel great! i havent peeled the 'glue' off my cuts ....im waiting for them to peel off on their own--other than the bruising by the incision sites all is well.
does the office have an advocate for you? my doctor's office has one person who handles all of my paperwork and if i have any questions, i call her. she sent my paperwork in and i got approved in 7 days---my surgery is on friday. yippee!
