pinky lee 1 Posted May 2, 2011 Insurance Approved!!!!! Got my surgery date of May 24th It's funny how you can be sooo excited one moment and scared to death the next, but I am really looking forward to a new chapter in my life. I have been doing a liver shrinking diet for a few weeks now and will do that up until the day before surgery which is Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and light dinner of veggies and lean meat. Lots to do to get ready! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sbilock 0 Posted May 3, 2011 I am being banded on the 3/10/11 in the afternoon. I will be at the Marina Del Ray bariatric center. I hear it is a center of excellence so they are very experienced. I do have a few worries. I had to be transfered from the Advanced Surgical institute of Huntington Beach (the skinny capital of the universe) to this office in Beverly Hills that works out of the hospital. So I do not even know my doctor. I have never meet anyone from the office I am having my surgery out of. HAHAH I do hear that there are a few people ahead of me that day....Maybe I'll run in to someone from this site....C'MON! anywho....I cant wait to lose the weight. I plan on putting in a lot of work so that next may I can start tanning my stomach too....since it hardly see's the light of day anymore.....=) wish me luck.
