How long is the process before surgery? I have my Dr's letter and my first appt with the surgeon is on the 11th. What's next?

Ok buddie I will be watching for you. How is ur pre-op going. I am suppose to be doing 5 shakes a day but the best I could muster is 4. I find they just bloat me and fill me that I am just not hungry.

For me it was about 6 weeks. 2 nutritionist meets, a physc meeting, a stress test, tomorrow a pre-surgery meeting at the hops and Friday an endoscopy/colonoscopy. The colonoscopy is not part of the lap-band but I was due and they said they cud due them at same the. my surgery is on the 17 july.

Pre-Op is going, today was hard being with the family for the 4th of July BBQ and not really eating what I'd like to, of course...but I survived, so that's good! Wow, 5 shakes that's a lot. I have to do 1 shake for Breakfast, 1 for lunch and a lean cuisine or equivalent for dinner, 1 snack that can be another shake but I got popcorn/cheese stick/yogurt to mix it up. I need to go buy some unflavored Protein to add more to stuff. Not sure I could do Only shakes, I might go more nuts then I already am, lol..you're lucky you're not hungry, I'm waiting for that phase, lol. Keep me updated! Best of luck!
