jdzoe1 0 Posted May 16, 2008 Hi All, I was so happy to find this web site and all of you June Bandsters. My surgery is June 11th with the Pre-Op on June 5th. My 10 year old daughter will be away at camp the week of the surgery so she won't have to know and worry. Only my parents and two friend know about this. Is any one else keeping it kind of secret? I am so excited and yet sometimes so embarrassed. It's like I have to face the reality of my size even though I am acutely aware of it every minute of every day. I'm getting so nervous, but I keep thinking that in a year from now I will have my life back. Good luck to all of you!!!!:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acadang 0 Posted May 16, 2008 Aloha, I received my approval letter, and have a set date for June 10th. I will be banded in San Fransisco under the care of Dr. Cirangle. He is awesome. He has answered all of my questions and has made me feel at ease about this procedure and that I am making the best decision of my life! I am a bit nervous about going through with this, I guess it is just nerves, but i am very excited that it is happening. I can't wait to get my life back, my health better.:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCluvs2scuba 0 Posted May 17, 2008 I keep hearing about the pre-op diet. What does that consist of? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerryconner 0 Posted May 17, 2008 I have not had my surgery date yet, not until June 17,08. It depends on where you are having your surgery done. I am going to Mexico because my insurance won't pay and it is more than half of the expence. My Dr. requires that if you have a body Max index number of 45 or above, you need to go on a "Liver Shrinking Diet". In the USA I think they are more strict with pre opt diets. The liver shrinking diet is High Protein and low carbs, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
