    Anyone else being Banded on February 9th?

    I think every doctor is different, but mine does it that way. If I could've dropped more in the 6 month program (for insurance approval), I may have been able to drop back to 2 weeks. The Holidays made that really difficult though!! It gives more time to lose additional weight prior to surgery. It also reduces the amount of fat on the liver (which reduces its size). Generally, the higher the BMI, the higher the fat in and around the liver. The reduced size of the liver makes the procedure alot easier for the surgeon. Hope that helps.

    Hello. I am new here also. Surgery is scheduled for February 9th. My starting weight at my first office visit back in June was 487 lbs. My weight last week was 470. My current weight as of today (6 days into the liquid pre op diet) is 458 lbs. It isn't easy, but the pre-op diet if followed does give results!!! Now if I can just get through 3 more weeks of it!! :w00t:

    Yes, I too have surgery on February 9th. Since my BMI is over 50, I have already started my 4 week pre-op diet. This first week has been rough (I won't lie!!), but I keep focusing on the bigger picture of being happier and healthier into the new decade. Good luck and an extra wish of happiness for 2010!!! :w00t:
