mikecee 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Hi, my name is michael and i am 28 yrs old, i am slotted for surgery 1/24/08 and very nervous. My doctor is Dr. Felding at NYU hospital( NYC) who also has a band along with half his staff. My wife turned me on to this sight which has been very helpfull in the before and afters of surgery. Currently i am on a 2 week liquid diet ( 7 days in ) which has been extremly hard to stick to. I never realize how many commercials and TV channels are dedicated to food. The only good thing about the liquid diet is that i have lost 11lbs. I look forward to becoming more ative in the sight and updating everyone on my progress.

shortgal 5 Posted January 16, 2008 There have been many posts on the forum about your Dr and how happy people have been with him. Good Luck, the preop diet is tough, but it's meant to shrink your liver before surgery. There are at least two people at my Dr's office that have been banded. It's great,as they really understand what you're going through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
