Anume 937 314 Posted March 21, 2012 I start my liquid diet on April 9 I'm geeked because I know once I start it I only have 10 days left for my SURGERY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guitar4life3000 24 Posted March 21, 2012 Good luck! It's very interesting how different surgeons require different pre-op. My surgeon said just stop eating and drinking 8 hours before the surgery. My mom got the Lap band 4 years ago from the same guy and back then he required her to do the liquid diet like you are talking about. Do you have the option of getting plication? I just got out of surgery yesterday. My insides want to be on my outsides lol : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shy2012 43 Posted March 22, 2012 sleeping beauty do a search put plication on lbt. It's lots of people doing very well with this new procedure. They add a extra step with the lap and and fold the stomach in a suture it. Helps reduce slippage and other complications of lapband. It's considered a experimental procedure now but the few studies they have done are positive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
