Hi MOSB, I do not have a pre-op diet either. I was a little worried at first but I did a search of the forum and there was a poll taken and of the people who voted I believe about 26% did not have a pre-op diet. I am going to eat light and do liquids for the three days before my surgery just for my own comfort.

I am getting my surgery in Mexico as well and have only told one person. That person is a friend from college who has the same weight struggle and is currently in med school so she wasn't completely ignorant to the process. I told her because I needed to let someone know just in case the unthinkable happens. I wanted someone to know where I am and she is understanding. Do you have just one person you can tell? I won't be telling anyone else. I told my mother I was considering the surgery and she couldn't get past the cost she is also morbidly obese. I told my younger sister who weighs 125lbs I was considering the band and she was like no that's so dangerous. Surgery is soo dangerous. This is the same girl who will be getting implants the second she can buy them.:thumbup: Because an elective much more invasive procedure makes more sense than getting a lap band for my health?? So I won't be telling anyone. I have already started losing weight so people will just assume i am continuing to lose. I plan on getting support here on the lap band talk website and from the one friend I have told. I hope things work out for you I completely understand your predicament.

I'm a December Bandster as well.:thumbup: I will be getting surgery on the 1st in Mexico with Dr. Zapata. I'm going by myself so if anyone else will be there please let me know. This is going pretty quickly for me. I decide to go thru with it today and got my financing, flight, and surgery date all in one day. I look forward to going through this experience with you all. Good Luck to everyone!!!

Hello, I am self-pay and am considering having the surgery done in Mexico or somewhere in the states that will also be far away. I would like to know what other people in this situation did for aftercare. Specifically what did you do about your wounds?

Hi All, This is my first post here. I haven't been banded but have decided I want to. Unfortunately this is the first time in my 24 years of existence I haven't had insurance. I was laid off last year. I wanted to know how you all maintain the energy to exercise. I can usually exercise for two weeks and sometimes up to three months but sooner or later I just do not have enough energy to make it. I usually work out 3-5 times a week walking around 3mi a day in about an hr. Does anyone else experience this? Is this normal? I always here you are supposed to get to a point where you can do more but I just never seem to get there.

Hi All, I am not currently insured (lost my job) but I wanted to know if it would be wise to go ahead and have a consult and start with the 6 month diet plan some insurers require so that when I do get a job I will have already done this? If I do this could the insurance company say it is a preexisting condition? Has anyone done this before; used a weight loss program from before they were enrolled under their insurance company?

I would like to know the same thing but for Missouri. Thanx!!!

Why would it be anymore degrading to ask your wife for anal play than to ask her for anal sex?

Thanks for the responses. I am going to pay more attention to my protein and carb intake. Hopefully this helps.
