Hi there, I am having my surgery on the 8th too. I dont have any special diet yet from the doctor but my pre-op appointment is on the 4th and I was told that the nutrition class is that day too and that I would have to follow a special diet until surgery. What Protein shake are you drinking? I need to find the ones I like the best. I will stay in touch. Good luck...I am so glad I am not alone.

Thanks for responding. Wow we have a lot in common. I gave up all soda drinks last July 2010 and am 28 days clean from cigarettes. I am feeling so much better since I stopped smoking I cannot wait to see how much better physically I will feel when I lose some weight. Thank you for sharing your story about how you've deciding to include everyone in your life your weight loss journey. I would love to stay in touch so we can share our experiences. Good luck to you.

Don't be embarrassed, I was wandering about this myself. My husband has not even asked this question but I was worried and from the sounds of it once I heal that part of my life (wink wink) wont be affected. My surgery is scheduled for April 8 Good luck with yours. Keep us posted.

The pain also sounds familiar to gallbladder surgery. When did you have your surgery?

Hi I was reading your post and was wandering how you are feeling? I hope all is well with you and that your recovery is going well. Let us know !

Hi, I am a little nervous too my surgery is scheduled for April 8th. I will try to follow your posts to see how you are doing. Good Luck to you.

Hi, I am having my lap band done in April too! My pre-op visit is the 4th of April and my surgery is scheduled for April 8th. I am very excited to begin this process and I am thankful that this option is available to me. I did not have to go through months of waiting because my insurance did not cover any part of this procedure but I did have to have a psychological evaluation and some medical clearance will be done on the 4th of April. I am curious if any soon to be Bandsters have discussed their upcoming surgery with everyone in their lives and if there are some who have wanted to keep it to those that are very close to them. I love that I have a place to come and talk about my experiences. Good luck to everyone I will keep you all posted on my journey.
