My surgery was Wednesday July 18, I was very exited about the surgery but cant not lie, the first couple of days were rough. Gas pain was awful, regardless of the gasX strips, as a matter or fact I still have some have gas pain. Now that its been 5 days I am better and planning to go to work tomorrow.

My only complain is that there are instances during the day where I do feel hungry. Any suggestions

Thank you so much for your feedback and support.. I am really nervous but at the same time happy that my surgery is tommorrow.

Tomorrow is my surgery and I am very nervous......anyone that already had it can tell me what to expect tommorrow.

July 18th for me. Just found out yesterday! Ahhhhh, i never thought it would come (fighting insurance) but i can officially say it now! Good Luck to all the July babies!

I am a July 18 bandster as well. I can't wait for my surgery today I went to buy the Vitamins, gas X and Calcium. Next week I will shop for Protein shakes etc. Doctor suggested Atkins shakes but I found that Premier Shakes have more Protein than atkins. Does anyone knows if I can use premier instead of Atkins.

Nice, I am going to be banded July 18 and those are the ones I am going to buy. Let me ask you something, how many weeks of preop diet your doctor recommended you?

I will be banded July 18, and cant' wait. However, I am a little worried because I've been reading that most people do the Atkins diet two weeks prior surgery. However, my doctor indicated only one week prior surgery. Any thoughts???

I read in one of the forums that Premier shakes from Cotsco are pretty good, maybe you want to give them a try.

Thank for the hints, my surgery is going to be on July 18 and I was wondering what would be a good store Protein shake. Somebody else in you tube recommended premier as well.

Thank you

I know is hard not being nervous but I agree the best thing is to focus on the positive. Think that the surgery day will the first day of your metamorphosis. You will start a journey that will transform your entire life.

Good luck on your sugery, everything is going to be fine. Please keep us post on how you are doing.

My surgery day is July 18, I will like to ask you what is the pre-op diet.

Hi my surgery day is July 18, I want to see anyone explain me what is the pre-op diet.

I an so happy I got my day today, July 18. I can't wait to have my surgery done and start my journey to a healthy life and better eating habits. I read a lot about the pre-op diet. Can anyone tell me a little about it?

Thank you

Greetings,

I am considering lap band, I already had my initial consultation a week ago with True Results in Richardson, Texas. I am scheduled for EGD this coming Monday. They said that if I have hiatal hernia the cost of the surgery will be less, around 5,688.00. Have any one heard this before?

I will appreciate any input.

Thank you.
