Hi all, I am new here and just waiting on my surgery date 7-2-15. I didn't realize that so many was getting the lapband and the plication. I joined another forum, but was the only bander on there. My last day for all the nasty food I have been abusing myself with over the past 12 years is 6-18 and then I start the liquid diet for 2 weeks. I have started on 2 protein drinks a day and then my dinner and have actually lost 4 1/2 pounds in 2 weeks, I hope to do good with the band and plication. I will keep watching this forum so I can see all the success stories. Thanks for letting me be a part of this great site..

Sandy they do in Texarkana TX. I think they may be the only Dr.'s that do. And I really searched for some that was close enough to me. The Dr's names are Dr.Keilin my Dr. and Dr. Hekier their website is www.noscales.com

Good luck Holly, my surgery date is July 2nd and I am 3 days into the nasty Protein only diet, I can't wait till tomorrow I actually get a med salad with ground grown veggies YAY!!. Let me know how your surgery goes we can be banded friends together, I am also getting the plication, They say it is easier to lose weight I sure hope so. I miss my diet pepsi's really bad, but will just plow through.

Hi all, I just joined today, My surgery date is 7-2-15. I start the liquid diet on 6-18. I am having the band but I am also having the plication with it. hope it is ok to post in this forum. I posted on the plication forum also. I will take all the support I can get. Thanks for having me

I am in the pre op stage and I use the pure Protein that I get from walmart. they are 7.88 for 4 drinks but I have been using the 2.00 coupon that I found. They have 23 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar and have 120 calories. I drink them ice cold and you can also drink them like a malt if you get them to almost freezing. I have tried the Premier Protein but it is really thin and makes me sick. but that is only my opinion. Anyway good luck I am starting my preop diet 6-18-15 and will probably continue to drink them after surgery for a while they really fill me up.
