Hi, I just read a thread that you wrote a long time ago, but I was wondering how you were doing with your realize band? Im getting banded in 2 weeks and have chosen the realize brand as well. Any thoughts? Thanks

Do you think its ok to feel excited now? I have 20 days to go... 20 days until my life changes. I'm excited for the hope that I can be on the path to a new life! Also, anyone know if you can stick a turkey into the blender??? (lol) My liquid days start the day before thanksgiving!!!!!!:confused:

Hi Pam, you'll need to have only liquids for either a week or two weeks before surgery. This is for two reasons... to get your head in the game and realizae the restriction you will be facing soon - make sure you dont bail!!! and the other is to shrink down the size of your liver so that its easier for them to do their work on your stomach! Hope that helps.

Hey Jen.. why are you on a protein diet? My doctor has me going on a liquid diet, but only 7 days before surgery.
-
Well, I have just gotten the verbal approval of my family, so now I can officially say I am excited!!!

So... here I am. I've decided to go ahead with my procedure. I have been approved by my insurance even though my BMI wasn't 40. I, against the better judgement of my parents and friends, have decided I'm ready to change my life. My last few appointment are scheduled next week and my procedure is scheduled for 12/2. I'm nervous, excited, and worried. I have support, but I feel it may be half heartedly. How do you deal with this? I know that the actual surgery isnt the hard part. I know its after... when the real struggle begins. What if they are right and this isnt the solution, or what if there are complications? Also, how did you guys decide on which band to get? Is there any comparison website that helped you choose? Thanks for reading and checkin in! Lizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy:redface:
