Welcome and congratulations on this new chapter in your life. I am pre-band also, scheduled for 11/5. Hope your pre-op liquid diet is going well -- great to lose a chunk and get the liver healthy prior to surgery....as to what to expect, I have been learning so much over the last couple of months here on LB Talk. I know it won't be easy once I'm banded, that I will have to be careful to keep to the small amounts of food, not drink with food, no slider foods, etc. but I'm very excited because I know this is going to work and I'm going to get my health back.

Thank you. I'm on day six of my liquids and starting to feel good. Hunger is not my focus anymore.

I so look forward to not thinking about food all the time!

Hello everyone. First time here. Still don't no how to get around lol. On Friday I had my 2 app with the Dr. Who was going to do my lap band. In 3 weeks I did all my paper work and test , blood work, took the 3 hour class, I mean I did everything he told me I needed. He tells me Friday he doesn't do lap band. He was trying get me to do 1 of the other ones. After he sat down with me back in February 2012 and with my son who wanted to know about this. Dr. Knew I wanted lap band nothing else. We talk about the lap band only. So he was upset cause he didn't get his way. WTf. Is my body. I will not get anything but lap band. So now I'm trying find another hospital .;( no lap band for now.

Hi there, I hope you find just the right doctor. I think some surgeons don't want to do LB because of all the follow-up for fills, etc. You don't want to go to anyone driven by greed anyway; you deserve a physician who is invested in your health. Best wishes!

Bandista. Thank you so much. yes I talk with someone NYU praying they will do it.
