Thank you all for the support. I am actually starting tomorrow with the preop diet and exercise, yes it is three weeks before but my goal is to lose at least 10 pounds before surgery. So I'm trying to start early and don't wont any complications.

I'm very proud of the progress you have made. Just pray and know that mom's always give their opinions whether we ask for them or not...that's them.

You are in my prayers.

Congratulations.

Happy to see that you are doing well. It appears your husband is following your steps just like mine. He is on month two of his process and I am helping him the entire way. I know he is scared for me, but I am more worried about him. You and your hubby will do fine together.

Congratulations!!!

On today, I had my pretest and it appears everything is okay and place. The documents i received stated that I should start the PreOp Diet two weeks before surgery to ensure my liver has shrunk. Would it be harmful if i started a week early? I want to make sure that my liver is small enough to move and won't cause any problems during the procedure. Please help!!!

Congratulations!!! You will do just fine.

Wow my head is hurting after the pretest but i have to admit that I found out alot of information which will be helpful for the day of the procedure. Everyone at the hospital was extremely helpful and I must say this is a journey especially when I saw my stomach. Let the fun continue and now I am ready for the new me.

This morning I'm heading to the hospital for PreTest blood work. Let the fun begin.

Just two weeks ago, I was excited about getting the approval and now that I have it, the feeling of being overwhelmed is setting in. My Pre-Test is in the morning at 8am and I haven't gotten all the information. I don't want to seem a pest to my bariatric coordinator, but I haven't received any information and she stated she mailed the document. I'm trying to be calm but i feel overwhelmed.

Well I can't believe my bariatric coordinator just called and went over everything. She apologized because my process was real quick so she is trying to get everything in order for my April 2nd date. She told me everything I need for my PreOp Diet and I almost hit the FLOOR. This thing said no meat for two weeks....LORD HELP ME! But now since she has given me all the information I need, I am ready to rock and roll.

Thank you all so much for this information. I am waiting for the dietician to call me back so I can set up an appointment before the surgery. My entire life right now is making sure that I get everything right because I only have three weeks before my life changes.

If I had some advise I would tell you but I am lost on this one.

Wow, that was quick. May I ask who is your surgeon?

Thank you all very much. I will take this all into account and I am so blessed to have such a supportive husband...don't know what I would do without him. Right now we will be trying out protein shakes to see how good they are. This might become a staple in our family to have one protein drink a day together.

If you only knew how much excitement I have right now you wouldn't even imagine. I have been confirmed to join the land of LapBand on April 2nd at 7:30am. This has been a true test of patience but I will do it and not take one day lightly. Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive and the best part is my cost is only $37 dollars...what a blessing. Now, I have my Pre Test on next week and PreOp Appointment on March 28th. How should I prepare?
