I've lost 74 with no pre op diet and had 4 fills in a 9 ml band every one is different we all started at different weights I've struggled to accept my band I didn't want to give up chocolate and sugar as soon as I did the weight started to come off I've gone weeks with no loss and even put some on its not a race the slower you loose it you have less chance of loose skin

I'm getting banded on Wednesday December 18th. I'm in Louisville, KY. I'm nervous, excited, and most of all, determined!

[LI Lady 64]

I'm scheduled for Dec. 26! Full liquids on Christmas day will be tough, but totally worth it!

[Coach0407 50]

My surgery is set for 12/6/13. I started day 1 of the 1,000 calorie diet. It's two Protein Shakes, one for Breakfast, the other for dinner. For lunch is a Smart One's, Lean Cuisine with 200-300 calories. I'm nervous but also ready to start this journey.

Dec 4th!!! Anxiety is kicking in. Is it strange that they haven't told me what time my surgery is yet? Also I'm hearing that it's odd that I'm not on a liquid pre-op diet....

I've read some are and some aren't on a pre-op diet. My Dr. did not assign a clear liquid. Just under 1000 calories and eating things that are sugar and fat free. Intake of 70-90g of Protein. At midnight the night before, I was not drink or eat.

I too have no idea the time. A nurse did call me and got the major information confirmed but said they'd call before 4pm with the time.

[LI Lady 64]

I wouldn't worry about the surgery time. At my hospital, the policy is to call the day before with the time. A first I thought that was odd, but now I have accepted it. I know my date and that is good enough for me.

Good luck!!
