Okay Im back and I have told my HUSBAND,MOtther and kids an I feel so much better about it im kind of confused thought right now, i go on friday to get the lab work done then they say if all is well the following friday I would get banded when I'm I to start the liquid diets the 24 clear then 24 dark liquids then soft food

Glad you told your family, but I am not sure I understand you post. Are you saying you don't know when you would start the different phases of your pre- and post-op diet? I don't know what dark liquids are, I have never heard that phrase before. Each surgeon seems to be different in what they require. They should provide you with that information. Do not rely on this forum for that. (Not that I think you are doing that). If you are unclear, call the office and get clarification.

To anyone here, if your doctor is unwilling to clarifiy information for you, find a new doctor.

Msthang, best wishes for you!!

Okay I went to my first appt on Dec 7, they called yesterday 1/13 saying I was approved then 2hours later they called back to schedule my pre op, So now that is scheduled for 1/21 following all is well I will get banded the next Friday she stat ed which would be 1/28 okay I have not had a chance to tell my family Im 36 I dont want them to talk me out of this an Im not sure if im being fair to tell or not to tell, things are going so fast whaat do you think when everyone else around you is skinny or healthy an makes like it is all so easy who needs this type of help how do you deal with them or do you shut them out "including hubby"

Hey hon! First of all congrats on the Sx date! My pre-op is on the 24th and my Sx date is the same as yours....the 28th. My first appt. was on Jan 3rd. Honestly, you don't have to tell anyone who you don't want to tell. I've told like 4 close friends and that's it. My p's will never know and I probably won't tell my kids for quite a while.

What's the whole dark liquid thing?
