    Which Band to Choose

    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:

    Which Band to Choose

    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.

    Which Band to Choose

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