miramira77 0 Posted June 11, 2013 I am scheduled for surgery on August 13, 2013. Due to my insurance, I need to have nutrition consultation for three months. I have done well so far going from 317 to 305 through exercise and diet. BTW I am 5 foot 10. My highest weight was 350. I am happy about the time I have had (I began the process in March) to really make sure I am ready for this journey. I have actually contemplated lap band for several years and I have arrived at this decision after realizing I was ready to turn a new page in my life. I have had several disappointments over the past few years & I am really ready for a change! I don't approach this process through any negativity about who I am or what I have been. I just look forward to taking better physical & mental care of myself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgindes 0 Posted June 11, 2013 I am aiming for late July early August surgery. I am 5'4" and started Weight Watchers 2 weeks ago at 247.4 pounds. I too have been kicking the idea of the lap band around for a couple years, and decided that I need this tool to help me succeed. So, here I am... One of my concerns is that I will still feel hungry during the pre-op liquid diet. It seems I am always feeling hungry... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
