My surgery is Friday as well!!! I've lost 6 so far and I'm not sure as to how much I should lose my doc never told me. I'm guessing it all depends on the doc. I didnt have to start my liquids until tomorrow but started it today!! I'm kinda freaking out about my liver not being small enough!! Anyways good luck on Friday and keep me posted on how you do and are doing.

Well....Friday will be here before I know it. I was blessed to only following a diet for two weeks and start my liquid diet tomorrow. Well.....I started it today because I'm afraid doc will get in there and say my liver is to big!! What Ive had today is Breakfast....a shake.....Lunch.....a shake....snack....jello. I got home from work and want to wait a bit before making another shake so I'm sipping on some beef broth and it is delish. I thought that it was going to be very hard today (doing liquids) but it has actually been pretty good. And did I mention the broth is delish...LOL!! Oh and I've had all my water plus!!! Ive been writing down what Ive had today which wasnt hard to keep up with ....LOL My plan is to have one more jello before the night ends so my calorie intake for today will be 460. Anyways y'all have a great night. Getting very excited for Friday the 4th!!!

Best wishes to you!!! Let us know how it goes!!! Mine is Friday!!

Thanks Shy

Shy, I'll do that thanks. I'm very concerned about the band slipping!! I just read a post earlier this am where a women has died because of band slipping. I read some of her posts before she passed and said that it's a 50/50 chance of slipping!! I'm very nervous now after reading that. I will for sure keep you posted.

Forgot to mention in my earlier posts that I found out that along with my band I will have the plication done. Not all to sure about it other than they stitch some of my tummy around it to help secure the band more....does this sound right?

My surgery is May the 11th and I started an eating diet on May 1st and will start my liquids on Wed the 9th two days before surgery.

I'm on the 11th as well!!!

Was wondering what everyone has heard as far as 10 years out from surgery? I've read/heard some thing as far as needing to take the band out and if that happens the insurance doesnt cover it because it's elective surgery and it cost around 20 grand. Any thoughts/ideas on this?

I bookmarked it thank you!!

Go Girl!!! Keep it up!!!

Welcome!! My surgery is May 11th!! Look forward to hearing great things from you!!

Good evening!! Well I went to my post op doc visit today and then to the hospital for blood work which they had a hard time getting blood out of me.......all went well. My band is scheduled for May 11th, Dr Kent says it will probably be around 8am so that is good but will know for sure on Thursday. I lost 5 pounds from my first visit with the doc the end of March so I was pleased with that. Now to look toward the next thing....... LIQUIDS!!! I start that next Wed so wish me luck. Tam

I have UHC and didnt need to do the 6 months. I know that the teachers in my area had until the end of last year to have the surgery b/c UHC wasnt going to cover it anymore. A couple of teacher friends that had it done had to do the 6 months. I on the other hand did not.

Thanks y'all for the help!!

I need some help in finding the right kind of vitamins for me. 1500 mg of citrate calcium ......multi vit with iron. Has to be chewable or liquid.......any advise please!!

Mine is the 11th as well. I started my 2 week diet yesterday and my liquid fast starts next Wed. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. My surgery is May 11th as well. I started my 2 week diet yesterday and my liquids I start next Wed!!! I'm excited and nervous at the same time!!

Can anyone tell me how to get the tracker that shows your weight loss? I believe it has something to do with the tickler thing. I would like to put this on my profile. Thanks for the help!!

Yes, just let me know!!

Well I'm starting my 2 week diet today!! I worry about getting my water in since I don't drink it. But as I'm sitting here I'm drinking it so that is a start. I go to the doc on Thursday, so I dont know really what to expect there but we shall see. I have to start my liquids next Wed. that's two days before my surgery so that is great. I've read a lot of comments that some have to go 2 weeks or longer. Well y'all have a blessed day off to work I go.

Eye wonder, Thanks, I'm speakin it forth!!

I'm in southeast Georgia and my surgery is May 11th.
