hunybear53 0 Posted December 7, 2009 Hi everyone! For those of you that have had surgery already, I hope all stays well for you. I was wondering what exactly the DR talks about during a pre-op appointment. I have mine on Wednesday and I am just curious as to what to expect!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laney75 0 Posted December 7, 2009 Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I am also getting banded in December on the 18th. I have my pre-op on Dec. 15. I am on day 6 of my pre-op Atkins diet and I've lost 6 pounds. I have to lose 15 before surgery. Hope all the newly banded are doing well and just wanted to wish everyone good luck.:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
