Thank you just woke up gotta be at the hospital @ 6

Preop I have surgery on tomorrow 07112012

You didn't do a barium swallow?

Good luck God's gotcha

Ok

Please no one take my post as negative. I love everyone. And it's her choice. On what type of help or assistance she seeks.

Did anyone smoke till last 48 hours till surgery?

Just remember the sleeve isn't reversable. Always the bad can be removed even let out when you get pregnant. But congrats on your decision. What made you go that route over the lap band.

My question is about the preop liquid diet im afraid I'm not loosing weight out my liver isn't shrinking. Did anyone cheat during their preop?

Thank you again. I'm drinking protein shakes but how a day r you suppose to drink in a day? Is 4 to many. I'm scared im not loosing any weight

Im on this liquid and haven't lost anything I only have till wednesday. Any suggestions

Thank you all for the kind words I greatly appreciate it

July 11th

I'm in the preop liquid diet and it's wearing me thin. Lol. I want some food somebody help. For all the banders hours did you feel when going out being wheeled to the operating room? I'm scared people

Think about the mexico thing. The place that i researched they charge about 5500. For the lap band but like someone said previously another doctor won't touch u in most cases. Question y won't your insurance pay?

Is there anyone from kentucky on the forum?

If you have a *** it's more managed. Do you need to get your complete summary of benefits and read the bariatrics portion or obesity portion or call you insurance and ask hours that department and they can tell you.

Thank you so much. It means alot. But I'm having problems with the liquid diet. This not eating is bad news for me. Wondering if I should take laxatives? Or is there anything to take to make the liver shrink

I'm getting banded on july eleventh I'm excited and nervous

Well it's finally here. My surgery is scheduled for 7/11. I'm excited and nervous about the surgery but to me the good out weighs the bad.
