My Paperwork was submitted sometime around the 20th and I got my approval yesterday, May 1st. Today the Dr. Office called to schedule the surgery date. Tomorrow I have my One on One with my Dr.

Wondering if he is going to put me on a liquid diet from now on going forward and Yikes!!! Nervous!!!!

Hey June Bandsters!!! I am having surgery on 6/12/12. I am also very, very excited!! I can't wait to begin this journey!!! Have you all headed over to the June Bandsters Board? If not, head on over and lets support each other along the way!!!

I have set a personal weight loss goal of 30lbs before surgery. Starting on 5/12 I am going to start a 1200cal diet for 2 weeks before I start my liquid diet. What are all of your weight loss goals?? Do you have to lose a certain amount before surgery?? Is your pre-op diet 2 weeks long?

Where is the June Bandsters Board? June is our month...woohoo!!!

Oh, and in answer to your question, I have to do a 7 day low carb, low calorie diet (1000 calories per day) for 7 days before my surgery. I am also to start taking a chewable Vitamin (probably Flintstones), one Tums with Calcium tablet twice daily, and Benefiber as directed once a day. So it is not a total liquid diet. I don't have to lose a certain amount of weight before surgery. I lost a few pounds on my physician weight management program.
