    NO PRE-OP Say whaaat?!

  2. Mrs Beebies, Thanks for answering. My spleen was actually taken out about 20 years ago for other reasons. I looked into lapband about a year and a half ago and went as far as the consult. Kind of got scared off when talking to the surgeon, who has done a couple thousand bands, told me because of the scar tissue from the spleen removal would make the surgery more difficult. And at that point he had only done a few with my issues. Found a new surgeon who has roughly 4000 bariatric surgeries to his credit and seems to have done a few more working around scar tissue. Going to go through with it this time, my screen name says it all. Was hoping to find someone who has been through it. Thanks.
  3. I'm new to the board and have a question to ask. Are there any others out there who have had their spleen removed and gone on to get banded? I have been approved by the insurance and have a surgery date set for the end of June, but must do the liquid diet for 3 weeks prior to surgery. Just wondering if there was anyone else in the same boat.
