I'm hoping to make a few band buddies with the same surgery date (December 8). Everything is easier when you have friends to lean on, especially when we are going through the same thing!

I was just wondering how, if any, the surgery affected your period. I am usually very regular and was banded 2 wks ago. It's time for me to start but I am 4 days late. No chance of pregnancy unless DH's vasectomy grew back.

Hey everyone! I've been lurking for quite some time and am
"officially" coming out...
My surgery date is Dec 8 and I will start my liquid diet on Thanksgiving! (Actually, the doc's office said I could enjoy dinner and start afterward) I am so excited to start my journey!!!
I've never had surgery either and am a little concerned about the anesthesia. No one else in my family has issues so, I'm hoping for the same Best of Luck to all!
Hey Hey!! I start my 2 wk liquid pre-op on Thanksgiving ...LOL ...I laughed at the scheduling person who called me and told me! I was fully prepared to do it but she said I could enjoy lunch but should start that afternoon. So, off we go...the countdown is on!! Eyes on the Prize!
You should just tell him...if you could lose the weight in your own, you would have done it years ago. I have told my mom repeatedly, I want to do this..my mind is made up. Good Luck!
I think it depends on the surgeon's preference. I have to do a 2 wk liquid pre-op I'm actually looking forward to it because it means I'm getting close. Haha..my attitude may change once I get started.
I find myself eating tons of sweets (Halloween candy) with the mind-set that I won't be able to do it again. I know this is the wrong way to think but I'm having trouble fighting the demon! I'll be glad when the candy is GONE!
@nikki_att84 - we should be band buddies!! That's my surgery date also! I start my 2 wk pre-op liquid diet thanksgiving day! The doc's office was nice enough to tell me that I could have lunch an start that afternoon. So, that's what I'll do so looking forward to a fantastic new year!
@SkinnyMiniMe : I drink the chocolate Matrix mixed with 8oz. Skim milk. I got it from my doc's office. I believe it cost around $50 but has 74 servings in the pkg!
