Banded tomorrow

Don't be nervous. Definitely stick to the food plan so your liver doesn't give your surgeon any trouble. Before I got banded, I watched a video clip of a lap band surgery on youtube. Not for the squeamish, but it's interesting. Odds are you won't remember anything about the surgery itself. The only thing I remember is moving from the gurney to the operating table. Two hours later I woke up in recovery. Your tummy won't be pretty afterwards (I have 5 incisions), but this is no time for vanity. That comes later! Good luck!

Do not be nervous you will be in and out befor you know it.. This 2 weeks before with all liquids is new for the past 2 or so years they found out that the best results comes from a smaller liver.

My suggestion to you would be buy a good scar cream

to use it as soon as your wound has healed. The cream is great for, both old and new scars.. All the best to you, Good luck.

I am jealous your doctor allowed you to eat eggs. I have had no solid foods all week, but I know the outcome will be great.

I have to be at the hospital at 6 in the morning tomorrow as well. I am not nervous about the surgery, I am I think a little nervous about how to eat and lose afterwards. I know I have to do the 70-80 grams of protein daily, but I am so sick of Isopur and protein shakes. My friend had the surgery 3 years ago and said she still has shakes. I was hoping to cut them out except for after fills, but I'll speak with the nutritionist afterwards and get a complete meal plan started.

Best of luck. Don't be nervous - you have a brand new life staring you in the face. Grab it and run with it. I am.

Thanks for the support!!!

best wishes!

I am so sure you will be fine. Keep us posted during your recovery. I found ice chips were my best friend directly after surgery. Looking foward to your next post.

Let us know how you are doing!! It sounds like you are totally prepared! Well wishes!!!
