Jewelsm1127 351 Posted December 20, 2012 Newbie here. I'm going in this Friday at 11:30am. Need to be at the surgery center at 9:30am. On the last day of the 15 day fast. No solid food. Bariatric Advantage shakes only with fruit or nuts blended in. They were really tasty so that made it much easier. Clear Liquids also allowed. Tomorrow it's clear liquids only and nothing after midnight. Lost 20.5 lbs so far. Feeling good and ready for surgery. The Kane Center in the Chicago burbs is awesome. My doc is Dr. Kane jr himself. So far a great experience with plenty of info. Just thought I would chime in here because I'm sure we all need the support up to and after being banded. Congrats to all who have gone so far and thanks for sharing your experiences! 4 Banjo257, Nyreebnks, LadyLeigh2012 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desotogirl 57 Posted December 20, 2012 3 day pre-op sounds good. 3 week was torture. I can imagine 3 weeks....I start Sunday and No christmas deserts...Oh well I can't complain (okay a little), but I am going to be right... lol 1 Banjo257 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
