omg it's official! I had my surgical consult 9/10 and we are going for it...NOVEMBER 1...

He said I am a great candidate.

Now, he gets to decide which band to implant when he gets in there. He said he likes the VG, but also like the new AP. I am reading stories I don't like about the VG. The AP seems great..What are your thoughts?

His instructions are liquids for 4 weeks post op (Optifast 2 weeks pre-op). Then a fill. Shouldn't I be able to try real food earlier, and before the first fill?

:whoo::whoo::whoo:

Congratulations!!!!! Woohoo :0)

Each doctor is different on diet, when to eat mushies, solids etc. You should follow what your particular doc is wanting.

I didn't have a pre-diet; I did liquids for two weeks; mushies for two weeks; had a fill; mushies for two days; on to regular food.

Congrats again!! The time will be here before you know it!

Congratulations!

I did the 2-2-2 post-op diet. 2 weeks clear fluids, 2 weeks full fluids, 2 weeks mushies before my initial fill at 6 weeks out.

If I had my choice of bands now, I would get the AP band.
