Hi JeffR,

My name is Paty and I am getting my band on Monday, June 9th. Please - let's email / chat on this.

I am on my 4th week of the pre-op liquid diet and even though I have lost about 14lbs and feel better, I am CONSTANTLY thinking about food.

I hope you are doing well.

Take care, Paty

hey tracy

hackensack is nice and close to me, like 15 minutes. however i live around the corner from mountainside hospital so thats where i will be getting banded. i have one more test to do before the surgery(stress test). i don't know why i have to do a 4 hour stress test when i already got approved for insurance, but what an i do?

i will def be posting and reading the forums after surgery. i am sure i will have questions, and hopefully some answers for anyone getting banded after me.

keep in touch

anyone from the area who wants to chat can also PM me.

hang in there paty. in my opinion the pre diet might be the hardest part. if we are able to maintain a diet we might not need the lapband.

i am lucky, my dock just wants me on 3-4 small meals a day with tons of Water, Protein and Vitamins but i know how tough it is to diet.

i put me email up above. feel free to contact me
