er1128 9 Posted August 16, 2013 I am 22 years old getting my sugary very soon. I am scared and excited all at the same time. I start my pre op diet on Tuesday hope I can make it through the pre op diet. I was approve a year ago and wanted to try one last time to do it my self. I was able to loose 20lbs by myself. But I know I have to do something before I get bigger so decided to go through with lap band. Hopefully this will be the tool to finely get ride of this weight. 1 2muchfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2muchfun 8,927 Posted August 17, 2013 Hey, you can always try another diet? They work so well? Seriously, we see patients on here all the time with the same issues. It can last till 2 weeks post surgery but if you feel like you've tried everything else in the world, why not try this? But make sure you make the commitment. tmf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
