that doesnt make sense, 3 months isnt 45 days...

less then a month and all, i mean all of my pre-op will be done... Hoping to get my surgery date when I have my pre-op with the surgeon on 8/9/2011!!!!!

I was told yesterday by my nutrionist that I wont be able to swallow anything bigger then the size of an "advil" for 6 weeks after surgery... this seems a little extreme?

My doctor requires the pre-op diet of Protein shakes/soups for 4 weeks prior to my surgery... The problem is my insurance will NOT cover the shakes, even if they were perscribes so therefore I have to pay $85 a week ( 4 weeks ) for the shakes... anybody else run into this problem???

I have 1 of my final pre-op apointments coming up...Its with pulmonary... My question is, how do they determine if you need a sleep study, Ive looked online and none of the sleep problems I found pertain to me... Im trying to schdule my surgery asap and if I need a sleep study, its only going to delay it further... any ideas?

I would say go ahead and do it on 7/14, if you wait 6 more months your cholestrol may get worse and be harder to control in the long run... I already 2 months into my journey for the lap band and I have to wait around 6 months too, if I had the option of self pay I would get the band asap! -
im married and my husband constantly feels like if I loose weight that I will not be attracted to him and feel the need to find someone else... He thinks im going to be thin and move on to someone knew or something, its a constant battle, almost like he doesnt want me to have the surgery... I tell him thats not going to happene and I want the band to feel better about myself and be heatlher...

Discouraged with the band.

i thought the whole point of the website is to be nice and encouraging...i guess some people need to go back to the first grade and learn how to treat and talk to people how they want to be treated... -
I was told today by my nutrionist that works side by side with the dr that I might have to be on a longer pre-op liquid diet becuase I have a high bmi... Last time he said that my diet would only be 2 weeks, but now shes saying something different... I have to check back with him at my next apointment... anybody do the pre-op diet for longer then 2 weeks, How the hell am I only suppose to drink liquid for 1 month straight... anybody else hear of Optifast?
