Sort of Bad Seed 0 Posted March 24, 2011 Hi all! I've been lurking around the boards for a couple of months now and thought I'd post. I went for the intitial consult on 1/4/2011 and after all the evals & stuff, scheduled to have surgery on 4/13/2011. Because of my insurance, I have to use a Ctr. of Excellence and its Dr. Keshishian doing the surgery. I don't have to do any pre-op diet or anything other than 2 days before a liquid diet and Clear liquids the day before with the clean out drink as well. I'm considering starting a liquid diet 2 weeks prior to get myself ready and be used to it by the 13th. I have purchased a bunch of Protein samples to try and I'm looking forward to starting this journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fefebutterfly 7 Posted March 27, 2011 Hi there, I am also getting the lapband on April 13!!! I was surprised how fast the process was because I went to my first appointment was Jan 25 and all preops in February and then Scheduled For april. Lucky for you, you dont have to do a liver reduction diet which is only Protein shakes and liquids. So good luck to you! FeFeButterfly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
