Approved

Hello,

I am new to the site and have just got approved. My surgery date is scheduled for 7/31/09. I am a little scared, not of the surgery, but that it will be too hard for me to maintain the requirements. My goal is to lose about 145 lbs. If anyone have any suggestion about post op diet or anything else, please feel free to share them with me.

Hi taylorjania congrats on your approval. For me being banded has been the greatest dcision ever! During my post op healing time I told myself that it's now or never, I have been overweight forever and unable to do it on my own so if going to the extreme process of WLS does not help me then nothing will. Here it is 3 months later and for the first time in a long time I feel like I am living again. So if I have any words of wisdom it would to stress the importance of following your pre op and post op orders and stay focused!
