Dave, I am having my surgery 6/20 with Dr. Nirmul! The surgery just called me today to get all my background info. I have started my 1 week preop diet and I'm a little cranky about it! Haha! I, too, almost backed out, but I really need to do this for my health. I have three kids who need a healthy mom!

Hi All, I just joined this site. I am going through True Results in Phoenix, AZ for my self-paid lap band surgery. I am scheduled for sugery 6/20 and I am started to get scared and wanting to cancel. I am reading a lot about "sliming" and how horrific of a time some people are having. Of course, I have read how well some people do, but it is the "bad" news that is sticking with me. I am also afraid of feeling like I am starving on the liquid diet. Mostly I am scared of food getting stuck as I am a teacher and have limited time to eat. And I'm afraid of things like my hair falling out because of poor nutrition. Can anyone help me with my sanity before I freak out and cancel the surgery? Mind you, the main reasoning behind getting the surgery is health concerns. I have diabetes on both sides of my family. I had gestational diabetes with all three of my pregnancies, and recently my blood pressure has been on the high side for me. My doctor assures me it is not "clinically" high, but when I am used to being 100/65 or lower and I am now registering 150/100 I am concerned. I would love some of your helpful input.

Thanks for all your wonderful feedback! This is a great group and I am glad I joined!

Wow! That is truly amazing! Great job. I concur with the other requests...what have you done?
