Getting ready to head to the hospital now to take a big step in the right direction.

Surgery got pushed back to 4:15, so have a few hours to burn once I get there. We're going in early because my wife has her pre-admission testing today for her band on Sept. 13. I'll see everyone on the band side.

Good Luck. You will do great. Just be sure to follow all the directions your surgeon gave you. Best wishes to your wife too...Dr. Cywes did my surgery too on July 7th, 2011. I am down 46 pounds and counting. Are you having plication too or just the band? I had both and have had NO PROBLEMS. Take care !

Melinda :rolleyes:

Well it's over and done and I'm back at home. Almost no pain, feels more like I did way too many crunches. Apparently I stored a lot of fat around my stomach, so surgeon says I should feel some restriction from day 1, of course, I'm only on liquids right now, so not much to restrict.

I just got the band, no plication.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
