Well all you pre-op's BEWARE!!! lap-band is neither"minimally invasive" or"low risk" like they said.ANY SURGERY IS DANGEROUS! I went in mon.morning(1/19/09) and even though I had a temp. of 99.9 Dr. Owens of the Rancho Specialty Hospital of So.Cal. decided to go ahead w/surgery.(I'll try to make this short) surgery at 12pm into post-op at around 1p.m. took 2 hours to come out of anesthesia, as they rushed me out,(barely concsious) home at 3;30pm I felt very woozy,weak and very ill. at around 7pm
Hi everyone!,I'm new.I am scheduled for surgery on mon. 1/19/09 and have been on the pre-op diet of 2-3 protein shakes and 1 salad w/tuna a day for 11 days now, but almost every day I,ve cheated by having a handfull of no-no snacks,is this a big deal or am I just trippin' also has anyone had Dr. Milton Owens (So.Cal) as they're surgeon?
