AppleSmith1226 1 Posted February 11, 2008 CONGRATS LABS! Your doc will probably put you on a pre-op diet ... to drop some extra pounds to shrink you liver. You will probably be on the diet for about 2 weeks. But congrats girl and I am soooo happy for you. You will be on the banded side soon LOL. GOOD LUCK AND BLESSINGS 2 U!

*susan* 1,709 Posted February 12, 2008 Way to go, that is awesome news! I take it from your user name you are a labrador retriever lover? I have a chocolate lab and he is my baby, I absolutely adore him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AAA022414 13 Posted February 13, 2008 Yes! I have 2 labs a chocolate and a black lab. and I must admit my chocolate lab is my baby! he's always right by myside. Our black lab is alot more independent and only wants attention when she wants it but our chocolate is an attention hog and he needs constant love! must be a male thing!
