lovecats85 2 Posted November 4, 2005 I'm glad I saw it - It makes me feel better about the fact that I can eat alot b/c I haven't been filled yet. When you see the band w/ no fill it doesn't look like it would restrict much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mermaid 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Karen, Thank you so much for that link. I had tried to get it before, but for some reason it wouldn't play. Being a nurse, I really enjoyed the mechanics of it all. I was amazed at how small the stomach pouch is! Amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonwillow 0 Posted November 5, 2005 I watched it about a week before my surgery. I thought it was great! My teenager on the other hand was like Gross. Melissa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomorrowsdream 0 Posted November 5, 2005 Things sure differ from state to state. I've heard several people on here say they were eating right up until the day of their surgery. My daughter who had gastric bypass (sure you all know that by now) was eating steak and lobster the night before her surgery till she was so full she couldn't walk. I don't understand why the doctor's differ so much. How hard can the liver be to find if people can eat up till the day of surgery and some can't have food for 2 weeks before...only liquids. I wish I'd found the dr. that lets me eat up until the surgery. How lucky can you be!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomorrowsdream 0 Posted November 5, 2005 Twice I tried it, and twice it cut off before the surgery even started. Can't understand why, but perhaps ignorance is bliss when you haven't had the surgery yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
