I like how this surgeon discusses every move as he performs the LBS.

LAP-BAND Procedure by Dr. Malley

I know what you mean. I wish I could have had him as a doctor. Not that mine isn't good, but I just like Dr. Malley and the way he relates to his patients.

PSJ...did you hear him say not to lift anything heavy...I have read some forums when people have lifted something right after the surgery and they are feeling strain, etc...I think it was a quick procedure though and it helps ease the minor fears I have had. I have also seen videos on youtube but I like this one..

I am pretty sure we aren't supposed to lift anything any heavier than 10 pounds, or so I have read. I have my preop appointment with my doctor tomorrow and have written down various questions to ask him and this will be one of them. Wow!! You only have a week and 2 days to go!!! I have 14 days to go!! What's funny is the lady Theresa that was operated on in the video, she became pregnant not long after she was banded and had her baby in November 2008. She has videos on youtube under the user name Drmalley. Those are interesting as well.

I decided to document my progress on their as well. I figured it would be a good way to keep myself accountable on my journey. :blushing:) Let's keep in touch and let me know how your surgery goes!! :confused:)

How was your appointment?

Hi Iris,

My appointment went well. I now know what time my surgery will be. I go in at 6 a.m. on the 7th and surgery is scheduled at 8:15 a.m. My doctor also told me that there is a good chance provided I follow my preop diet to a T and my liver is nice and soft and small that he will be able to do the single incision lap band procedure!! :thumbup:) I am sooo excited and keeping my fingers crossed on this one! I told my hubby I wish I could have the single incision one. So, hopefully, if everything goes well, I will. ) :thumbup:

I start my preop on Saturday. I just got back from the store and bought enough stuff to get me started. I hope I lose some good weight after suffering with the liquids:tt1:

I surely will, Iris. You know everytime I see your name, I think of that Goo-Goo Dolls song from the movie City of Angels. )
