Hi, My name is Tali and I am from Los Angeles, CA.

I have a surgery date in the next 2 weeks. My surgery will be at Cedars Sinai with Dr. Khalili and his staff.

I would love to get any feedback, suggestions, and support

Hi Tali,

I'm also due to have my lap band surgery soon on the 9th July in Hong Kong. I'm very excited and a bit apprehensive too!What is the date of surgery? Are you on a pre op diet? I haven't been told to diet or anything and am a bit worried as people are mentioning it on the forum.

My surgery is 2 weeks away also, I am getting more excited and nervous by the day. I have read and heard that is really good to lose 10-30 lbs before surgery because it helps with the size of the liver and there is less chance of damage during surgery. It is in my pre-op material.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
