Same here...im only on clear liquids and ive lost 5 lbs so far...very exciting! Good luck to you as well! I'm nervous. Are you getting hunger pains?

So my surgery is this Friday! I'm on liquid diet day 4...3 more to go....any suggestions on the liquids? i'm doing good so far. Anyone have caffiene?

i havent been banded yet! but i can def see that happening!!! and i think its GREAT! you should take care of u and be proud of u and if its a littel Vain who cares?!?!? LOL

my doctor told me its very common...he put me on prolecet (not sure of the sp) and he said it should help! :-)

Goooooooood Luck!!!!! [quote name=tiffany ' timestamp='1302898454' post='1601251] I am worried about this too. I am 30 - never had any kids but very flabby through the middle. I asked a cosmetic surgeon about possible tummy tuck in the future. he said people with my shape (Apple) often have excess in the middle area where as other people (pear shapes) don't necessarily have this problem. I agree with Saraboo. better to be healthy and flabby then morbidly obese and smooth (well except for the celulite) LOL. Getting banded April 19th

I'm 26 and I weight 240. I'm having surgery on May 12th (just found out and im excittttedd) I was just wondering what peoples experience with thier skin going back have been? Ive read on here that alot of people need Tummy Tucks afterwards. Any advice would be great! Thanks!!!!

This is the most informative and inspiring thing ive read on the lap band! My surgery is may 12th THANK YOU!!!

thank you VERY much!!! What did u all eat the first week? Like just broth?

I just got approved and got my date! It's May 12th! Any advice? And the pre-op diet how long is that usually because im only metting with my doctor 1 week before?

Mine is May 12th CANT WAITT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck!!

i am in the SAME situation right now and i dont know what to do! its hard! i would talk to ur sis in law and see if she minds if u talk to the dress shop about ordering it after the other girls! hope this helps! im nervous tooo!!!

at first my mother was VERY skeptical and it made me upset. i think she thought i wanted an easy way out. now that she understands it more she is much more excited for me! when i met with the therapist she warned me about people being jealous and said that its something that you are going to have to deal with. i would say REMEMBER you are doing this for you , not ur friends or family, YOU!!! hopefully they will come around! Be happy! If you have friends that support u rely on them. or other people who have beebn banded. Its a important choice but i think u are making the right one :-)

I'm VERY excited I just found out that my surgery date is May12th :-) I'm not meeting with the Doctor until 1 week before that. Does anyone know how long your pre-op diet is? Is a week long enough?

Thank you SOOOO much for your responces!!! I'm VERY excited! I just got the date its May 12th :-)

I just got approved yesterday! I'm VERY excited!!! Is there any advice you can give me for preparing for surgery or for the first 6 weeks after surgery? Also, what's the weight loss like in the first couple of weeks? thanks!
