Hey there! Great to hear from ya'll!! I hope everyone is excited about this new life we are all about to start! Good luck to everyone and let's keep each other posted on everything. -
Glad to hear things are going good bandster! I am on that lovely rollercoaster of emotions...LOL I am so excited though. I feel like it will never get here. Was Dr. Wellborn really nice? What did your consultation consist of? I am just trying to get a heads up. LOL Lindata-I know how that is....I swear I have read everything on here. LOL And I think I have looked at all the before and after pics about a million times. It's nice to have other people going through the same thing. Be sure and keep us posted, I look forward to hearing from ya'll!

Just Getting Started - Questions
Mommathang replied to allicdoesit's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
hey there allicdoesit...welcome to LBT! I am not banded yet but I have my consultation coming up in Nov. What state are you in? Most doctors require that you attend a seminar prior to coming in to see them. I found that this is a great place to find a dr because you actually get to talk to their patients and such. Hope it helps and good luck!! Hope to talk to you more on here! -

Just found out today my consultation day is November 7. I am so excited!!!

Hey there everyone! It's been kinda slow on the board the past couple of days. I am still pre-op dieting and kinda needing the stories that ya'll tell to keep me going through. I know it sounds cheesy. But the idea of my upcoming surgery and the idea that I could be thin one day has me on a rollercoaster of emotions. From what I have heard, this is normal also. I just look forward to reading how everyone is doing. Thanks!

I talked to Tonya at Dr. Wellborn's clinic the night of the seminar and she told me that they usually put the patients on a 2 week preop diet that consists of 800 calories. You can eat food not just liquids. I am wanting to be sure that my liver is smaller so that he there is a better chance of him being able to do it laprascopically, so I start mine two days ago. It's a change...LOL But not so bad. Weight Watchers and Lean Cuisine have some really good frozen meals. I honestly was shocked. Just wanted to update. How's everyone else doing???? Hope to hear from ya'll soon!
-
That's cool. I really enjoyed the seminar. It was very informative and Dr. Wellborn is so nice and so is everyone in the office. I can't wait until December. I am starting a diet tomorrow to get some of this weight off before the surgery.

Thank you bandster I really appreciate the info. :Banane35: SGACX, my boyfriend and I will be there and I will be wearing a purple shirt and black pants I have auburn hair. See you tonight :Banane10:

<p>I am so excited about tomorrow(my seminar). It may sound silly, but I can hardly wait. I have read on some of the messages that some doctors require a two week protein pre-op diet. Can anyone tell me if Dr. Wellborn requires this and if so what kind of protein shake is the best to go with? Thanks so much! I am just wanting to get a head start.</p>
-
Thank ya'll so much for the info. I go to my seminar tomorrow night. I am so pumped for this!!! I am also glad to know that I now have this forum as a tool to help me with this transformation!!

Hello from Bismarck, Arkansas
Mommathang replied to Mommathang's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
That's awesome! I am going to my seminar Tuesday night and I am so excited. How is Dr. Wellborn? One of the selling points for me was that he is associated with St. Vincents. So far everyone in his office has been so helpful. Any advice? -
Hello, I am planning on being banded in December by Dr. Wellborn. I am just beginning this exciting journey. Just wanted to say hello.
