Hi folks, I'm Gary and I have just found the site. This could be really useful as I don't know anyone personally who has had a band. My first visit to the surgeon was mid July and he suggested 2 appointments with the dietician and a final appointment with him (Mr. Robert Stuart, Ross Hall Hospital, Scotland), which was yesterday (27th Aug). Decision made and I'm going to do it and now have a banding date (29th Sept). Need to go see the dietician again to get the lowdown on the pre op diet but looking forward to just getting on with it now. No idea how easy or hard this is going to be but determined to get fit as soon as possible. Been unfit for too long! :(

    Hi Gary,

    I'll be banded on Sept. 29th as well! We're all going to be so fit. I went through a year long process which was good and bad. I had time to research a lot about the Lap-Band. I have a 4-hr. mtg. with the bariatric nurse and dietician next Wed. Another with nurse practitioner in my surgeon's office and lab work on Sept. 13, and then start my 2-week liver shrinking diet on the 15th. It's going to be a busy month! Welcome aboard!

    You are going to do good. We have the same band date so we are both excited. I am currently on day 6 of my preop diet. Yes a little trying at time but it is all worth it. So tell me how you are doing?

    We also have the same surgery date and I have started my liver shinking diet. Just wanted to check and see how you were doing.

    Congrats to everyone on thier surg. dates. The preop diet is hard but you just have to keep your eye on the prize.
