Hi! I am new to this. I got approved a couple weeks ago for my band. Tomorrow (I guess today since it's 1am!).. I go for my Post-Op. I was just wondering if there's anyone else here in the Yakima area? My surgery date is scheduled for August 19th @ 8 am!! P.s. I see everyone has those little trackers, how do I get one?:thumbdown:

Well, my liquid diet hasn't consisted of much. Usually my Protein shakes, Water, sf Jello and sometimes broth. My stomach is always growling and I still have 3 more weeks of liquid diet to go. I had my 1 week post-op yesterday, they say all is looking good. I've lost an overall of 18 so far. 9 of which has been in the last week. So I told them I'm working to lost at least 3 times that by time I go in for my fill on the 30th of Sept. So 27lbs to lose in 34 days, shouldn't be too hard. Since it's nothing but liquid in me. I just keep telling myself, it's worth it! I'm at 240 now. My goal weight is 140. So we will see. Told the Doc I still want to have some curves left though! LoL Thanks for the encouragement, means a lot. I have my family, but it's not the same as someone that has an idea of what I'm going through. Thank you again!

Wow, you get to start soft food already? I'm still on a liquid diet for the next 3 weeks. I'm actually still having a little pain where the port is. But so far since I weighted myself back on the 11th, I've lost like 19lbs. Easier for you men apparently! :thumbup:) I go back to the Tri-Cities again today to get my week check. So we'll see how it goes. I really need some support getting through these liquid diets!! UGH!! :thumbup:(

Really? I've never heard about the fills with Memorial. And that's where I had my upper gi and my stress test done at and they never mentioned anything. I'm already pre-approved for the next 6 months of fills. And Tri-Cities isn't too far away. Plus it gives me an excuse to do some shopping!! Well, less than 12 hours I will be in surgery getting my lapband! Wish me luck!!

Hi! Where I'm going is the Tri-Cities. Dr. Fox, he's a great doctor. And the office girls are great! If you want to carpool on fills, let me know? Like I said, I go for my surgery on the 19th!!
