Hello Inuit, it went like this , Aug was 1st visitto see Br B. 2nd app was Sept for an all day info session with other folks possibly having lap band we were all together for the day which was nice as I met very kind people like me ahahahah then after that day i had 2 apps in this month November 1st one was the preadmission clinic, then 2 weeks later that was the app today I had a visit with the lovely nurse , they sure are a blessing ahahaha as my daughter is a maternity nurse in Fredericton ahahaha anyway enough of that going off track ,,, today the nurse went over bloodwork and other stuff all was well and I was down another 5 pounds ,, also i forgot I had one app in october just to sign the papers with Dr B. that was all so now I have my banding next tuesday I think if you follow all rules and are a canidate things seem to move fairly fast .... at least they did for me as I am sure they will for you ... I am cheering you along and good luck. EJ

Inuit, are you from New Brunswick ? EJ.

I will be eating puree yum yum ahahaa ,, there is another clinic after that which you will have blood work EKG and visit Rinette she is the dietican ,also a chest X ray will be done that day !!! lots of fun .... but worth the health benefits for now and in the future.. EJ.

Yes I believe there is another drink , but not sure what, the nurses will explain everythink to you at your pre admission clinic , and yes I will post for sure !! ahahaha talk soon EJ.

I must mention the optifast is only consumed 2 weeks before lap band surgery , it shrinks the liver and really cleans ones bowel !!! ahahaha If you know what I mean .... already I haven't felt better in 10 years ; there is like a new outlook on life . EJ.

Hello to all my first visit to Dr. B was aug 25 this year and then things went very quickly for me ahahaha yah for me we must follow all rules given by his wonderful nurses and their team ! I super did because I am very ready to have a healthy life style . I was their today for my last visit and things are all set for Tues dec 2nd. I purchased the optifast from a number Rinette gave me , she will give you all dietary advice . It cost 220 for a 2 week supply!!! and i like the taste !!! talk soon friend I hope yours will move fast too!
