Ok cool very helpful!

That's what u thought but realized this board is all about the lap band. Didn't want to be ousted!

Just wondering. My surgeon put in a Realize band yesterday. Never thought about it up here.

So does everyone on here have the 'lap band' or the Realize band?

Any ideas for food soups in stage 1 post op diet? Tomato ok? I did chicken broth tonight... Tomorrow is post op day 2. By the way, the chocolate Bariatric Advantage shakes are absolutely delish!!!

Best of luck today!! Keep us updated!!

I was banded today! Any and all advice welcome!

I am ok. Sore, but ok and SO glad that's over!! The surgery lasted about 2 hours. I have 6 incisions, but all went well! I'm so excited!

Hi all! I am a bandster!! I arrived at 9 am but my surgeon was in another case do I didn't go to the OR until 2pm. I had my hiatal hernia repaired and I'm headed home now! (730pm)....I am so very glad it's done!

I have to be at the hospital at 9, and it's about an hour away. I am super excited but nervous. Ready to start this new part of my life!!! I will update you when I can!

My day is tomorrow!!! I am nervous! I have a hiatal hernia also that needs repair. Ready to be done!

Hi everyone and thank you banjo for your inspiring and encouraging message. My surgery is this Thursday and I am ready for it to be over! Good luck to everyone!

Thank you for that inspiring message! My surgery is Thursday and I am ready to get it over with! I'm nervous (nurse) and am a bad patient! I will try to be good. Good luck to everyone this week!

I have the Isopure unflavored. I add it to coffee milk, etc. I added it to my Trop 50 OJ ...good stuff.

Many prayers to you! Just think...skinny jeans! I go Thursday . Can't wait to hear from you!

Only 4 more days! I can't believe it!!

Welcome! I'm on my preop "diet" and doing well so far. When i weighed yesterday I had lost 8 lbs. I am having surgery this Thursday December 6. I am very excited. Getting a little nervous. But I know it will be fine. I have been going by my instructions for the protein shakes. But my favorite snack is dill pickles! They are allowed for me so it's almost like a treat for me!

Well I won't be living solely on protein shakes so I consider it somewhat of a diet...u know what I mean! I'm honestly working on my thoughts of food and eating more so than anything...

My surgery is next Thursday. Omg. I am doing well on preop diet...8 lbs down in 7 days. I am ready. How are the other dec.6th folks doing?

I cannot help you with center, but I'm in NC too! Having my surgery in Greenville. I like your date!

I'm very worried. I'm an OR nurse and have complete faith that things will be fine. I think ignorance is bliss in this instance! I'm afraid I won't lose weight, as I've tried so many things so many times and failed. I think I've convinced myself that being heavy was just the way I was going to be forever and now there's this hope....just scared. My surgery is next Thursday. I'm emotional...anyone else?

Me toooo!

I'm also having hiatal hernia repair....
