Surgery Date Nov 18th In Montreal



Recommended Posts

Hello LAP-BAND® forum. This is my first post here on this site. I am new to this world and can say after reading so many posts I am excited to be a part of such a supportive community.

I am 34yrs old and struggled with my weight all of my life. I have began my pre-op diet yesterday of 5 boost shakes per day and 1 cup of vegatables with plenty of Water.

My surgery date Nov 18th is with Dr. Steven Miller in Montreal. I am both nervous and excited. Any tips on how to make it through the pre-op diet without going a little nutty?

HW=419lbs

CW=402lbs

SW=???

GW=225lbs

Hey and welcome!

All I can say about the pre-op is take it one day at a time. You'll have some days you just wanna scream and eat everything in sight, and other days where you think, "Hey, this isn't that bad." Cherish those days! Just gotta plow through it and look for the light at the end of the tunnel. It's all worth it!

Keep us updated!

How are you doing?Are you adapting well?

I am in montreal looking for someone to share some experiencies. None of my friends had had it.. so I feel kind of alone in the matter.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
