I am planning on getting banded in December. However, I haven't made any final arrangements with the Doctor yet. I will be self paying. I will be calling his office next week to set it up. Can anyone tell me what he does pre-op. Any blood work or tests. What pre-op diet he recommends etc. Anything you can tell so I have an idea what to expect would be greatly appreciated.
:noidea: Thanks
I'm still trying to decide if this is right for me. I think it is, but would like to hear from anyone that have regretted getting it done.
Thanks so much
I have many questions and posted them. Everyone here is great. I'm still trying to decide if its right for me.
Anyway, my question is about not drinking during a meal and 30 minutes after.
This really scares me as that is when I usually drink the most. I have tried several times to not drink and have failed. Is there anyone out there that struggles with this same problem? And what did you do to adapt?
Thanks again
:help:
I really appreciate the honesty. I know most people on this site are all for the band, but the few that aren't sure really help.
It seems that everywhere I turn, people that had problems would still do it again.
I travel every week. Because of this, I eat out for most meals. (not all hotels have fridge or microwave). Has anyone else traveled as much and been successful?:help:
