MissKari2183 3 Posted January 7, 2013 I am getting banded on the 16th! Like I mentioned in a previous my post, my Doctor/Surgeon does not require a pre-op diet, but after seeing how many that do- I have created my own liquid-only diet!! I figure it will only help- maybe shed a few extra pounds and hopefully make post op a little easier!! Getting excited and nervous at the same time!! 9 more days!!!

Chrissy-Chris 51 Posted January 7, 2013 I am also getting banded on January 23rd. I have my 3 hour appt. tomorrow to meet with psychologist, nutritionist, and Dr. I am getting so nervous the closer we get. I am trying not to let my nerves get the best of me. I am more worried about the surgery than anything else. I wish it were here already! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
