countrymomma 1 Posted May 13, 2011 My surgery date is May 25th! I am currently finishing day 2 of my pre op diet which so far is not going well at all. Mine is an all liquid 800 calorie diet. No solids, no veggies.. Two days in and I'm HUNGRY! I told my husband to hit a cow and bring it home... I'd suck the blood (its liquid!)... I even sucked on a cracker. SAD. Anyway, I've been working on this from the first day I found out my husbands new insurance would cover it. I did my 6 month Dr. supervised diet (lost 30 pounds - gained 10 back), then had my Gall Bladder taken out. Then we waited for insurance. It was submitted in February, and approved just last week. I called my Doc's office Monday and got the OKAY to start my diet and have surgery in two weeks! WHOO HOO! I do my pre-op testing on May 16th. 1 EbonyDawn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rosemarie K 0 Posted May 14, 2011 Just seeing if anyone else is being banded in May. Our time is coming quickly and before we know it, it will be here. Yes, my surgery date for my Lap Band Is On Thursday May 19th. I start my pre op liquid diet Tomorrow the 15th. Best of luck to you and to all the May banders. Let's stay in touch ok? I don't know how to do the ticker thing. But I will say I am 52 years old and I'm at 318 lbs and need to lose about 160 lbs. May God Bless Us All On Our Jouney Hugs, Rose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
