Getting Banded 12/16/2008

[abailor 4]

Hi i am a 34 year old mother of two; I have been trying unsucesfully lose weight for about 8 years. I lose 20 and gain 30 lbs back. I see my surgeon this week on 12/3 for all of the pre-op clearances.

I am really looking forward to a new healthier life style.

Hello,

I'm getting banded on the 17th so I will be one day behind you. I started my liquid diet today and it is hard! I'm hoping it will get easier after a couple of days.

I have a date of 12/11 - so I am a few days before you... the first 2 days of the pre-op liquid diet were hard for me... I had a awful headache! Now, just finishing up day 4 and doing good!

Good luck to you!! :biggrin:

i'm scheduled for 12/18 and im surprised to see that some of you have been on liquid diets for 4 days. My dr never told me that i had to loose weight before my surgery.

Hi~ Thanks for the reply's it is nice to meet others that are beginning this jounrey at about the same time as me, I just saw my surgeon today and did all the final pre-op testing @ the hospital. My surgeon requires the lovely liquid diet for 7 days before the surgery. He explained it to me that it is not to concentrate on losing weight it is to help your organs that are near the band placement to decrease in size to decrease the surgeon's chance of nicking them.

WEll ladies here we go I hope and pray that this is a great success for all of us!
