Greetings all. I just found this site by Google searching. Just what I was looking for since chatting with fellow people who have something in common with you is probably the best way to find out information that perhaps the docs don't tell ya. I'm a wee bit nervous for my surgery is this coming Monday. My pre-op is tomorrow. I had to postpone the surgery due to catching a nasty cold earlier this month. All I have left is a dry cough I get only when I talk. Hoping this dry cough won't postpone my surgery again. My insurance changes in January so I need to get this surgery done this year and Monday was the last date the doc had available.

Greetings all. My surgery is scheduled for December 21st and boy am I nervous! My pre-op is tomorrow, December 16th. My doctor hasn't put me on any special before diets like everyone else is doing. I'll find out more tomorrow on what I am to be eating before surgery because it seems the booklet the doc gave me is geared towards a non-lapband surgery. Anyways, I'll post on here tomorrow on the outcome of my pre-op. HAve already had the chest xray, EKG, 8 viles of blood taken out of me so dont know what the pre-op involves. Rebecca

Well, you are not supposed to drink alcohol for at least two years. My suggestion is to give up the smokes and give up the drinking as well since alcohol has empty calories and can bring up your weight very fast not to mention alcohol will not make you feel very well when you drink it. Be sure to read all the literature BEFORE your surgery.
