Hi I'm new to this but had to post to all those w/ band dates of July 7th!!! That's my date too...in Boston.

I meet the nutritionist again on June 22 to go over the pre op diet....but I have been trying to lose a little.....got a long way to go to goal, but I am in it for the long haul.

:blushing: Hi steveden i am having my surgery july 7th also. I am having it done in Keene NH. I meet with the nutrionist on June 18th and plus i have blood work done the same day. I have other test coming up but they havn't set up appts yet. i don't have to do any pre-op diet. I started the process on March 4th with a seminar.

So it will be a total of 5 months altogether. Hope time goes by fast here in the next few weeks. Hope all goes well with you. Take care

(eating well after weight loss surgery) by Pat Levine and Michelle Bontempo_Saray

I bought 2 of these books. One for me and one for a friend who had lap band surgery. I am waiting for a surgery date right now.

The other book i haven't read yet is( recipes for life after weight-loss surgery) I hope this helps

nlausier -

I hope the surgery went well. I just finished my visits with the dietician.

To all -I lost 33 of the 35 pounds, so she is putting me through to the next step. The psychological screening. Once that is done. I meet with the surgeon. It sounds like they are doing more surgeries now, they have a lot more in the program. I found out my insurance covers it, $250 deductable, so I am thrilled with that. At first I thought I would have to be footing it.

Bstone here :it sounds like you are on your way to the next step. Congrats. I am still waiting to hear something. I had consult on March 18th. They said i would here from them when everything is all set. What ever that means. Good luck on your journey whip22:rolleyes2:

Bstone here,

I hope to get banded soon. Waiting to hear anything at this point. Insurance seems to be the hardest.

Good luck

Bstone here, Good luck on your surgery. Let me know how everything went i would like to know. I'm still waiting on insurance stuff. Hope to get banded soon. Again I hope things go well and thanks for the message.
