My suggestion is start the liquid diet today before your appt and it should come right off. Just a thought

I hate my band, I am going in on July 6th to have it taken out and get the sleeve.

I went to my pre admission testing on Tuesday and I was waiting for them to call me in the waiting room and I was reading the forms they handed me at check in and it had listed the VSG and then the hernia repair n then it said and possible open procedure . I almost had a full blown panic attack. I am hoping that is just in case not something they think is going to happen. My visit with the surgeon isn’t until the 24th so I have to wait until then to ask. Has anyone else seen that listed on there paper work at PAT?

When I had my lap band placed they had to do a hernia repair at the same time. Apparently that is common with obese people. They did not know that they were going to do that prior to me entering the OR but let me tell you I am so glad they fixed it!

Hi Everyone! My name is Lori. I am having my surgery July 6th. Starting to get nervous! How are you all preparing for when you come home?
