  1. Hi Chris welcome! Dr. Ganser is also my doc. I had my class this past Tuesday. It is a great idea to bring your spouse. My husband came with me and it made me feel very supported. They do take your "before" picture that day so be ready. You will also get you prescriptions that day. So good luck.
  2. Waiting for the call seems like it takes an eternity. But the day that you actually get the call will be one of the most exciting days ever. I think the lady that calls in named Michelle she is the surgery scheduler. Then you will get a packet in the mail that has the dates for your preop class, your preop appointment, your postop appointment. It will also include a sample menu for when you are on the liquid diet and it will have the amount you owe for your surgery and general info like that. And don't worry they will call. I got my call back at the end of December and now my surgery is just 9 days away.
  3. I have been going through two jugs a week. So if you plan on doing the diet for two weeks you will need 4 bottles. I decided to do the diet for three weeks to get a jump start on my weight loss so I ordered 6 jugs. When is your surgery?
  4. I only ordered Chocolate and Banana. So I would have to say that I like chocolate better. I am anxious to try Vanilla and add in the sugar free syrups. My order came within three days. I am doing the same day lapband. My surgery is February 12 at 9:00am at Renown South Meadows!!! I am so excited. I can hardly wait! If you all are going to start going for walks let me know so I can join you.
  5. Hi there! I also live in Reno and will be having LapBand this month. My surgery is on February 12 and I am very excited! Dr. Ganser is doing my surgery. I have been reading all the books on LapBand that I can get a hold of. So I just thought I would drop a little note to say hello and let you know that you are not alone in Reno Nevada.
