Hi everyone. I just discovered this website... cool!

My lap band process has been going on for months now... since June '07. But I'm finally scheduled and ready for surgery.

My surgery is two weeks from today.. on April 11th. And I've started my liquid diet :) [i think this is different based on where you're getting it done? cause I've been reading in some places that some people don't even have to do it..]

I'm looking forward to checking out the site a little more :biggrin2:

hello whisper...i just got back from my seminar that i have to attend before having the surgery. they told us that the main reason to go on the liquid diet, is to get some weight off FAST in order to get your liver in shape (get the enzymes normal) prior to the surgery because technically you will do better post-operatively......it has nothing to do with seeing if you will do well or not with the lap band.

hi welcome to LBT and good luck on your liquids and surgery.

we've pretty much found that every surgeon is different in regards to pre and post op diets. just follow your surgeon and you should be great.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
