Did anyone postpone their Lap Band surgery after they went through everything (testing, pre op diet, etc) to try a healthy eating lifestyle (diet lol) one last time?

Glad I'm not going to that dr lol!

Okay this is a dumb question. Everyone is mentioning using the heating pad. I bought one for the surgery. Now, where do I put it? LOL

I'm not diabetic but even the lapband.com website says 800-1200 calories. I'm going to call the office today. I just don't think 450 calories is right.

Yes. I have all of the complete information I need for MY pre op. I am asking what OTHER people were required out of curiousity.
-
I am supposed to have 3 shakes which equals 450 calories of the protein powder they sold me and my BMI is 51. I've just finished day 1 and while I'm fine today, I don't know that I can last 2 weeks. 450 calories seems excessively low.
-
How many calories were you advised to stick to during your pre op diet? Thanks!
-
More importantly, how much did you lose in pre op? LOL jk....

You look great!!!!

She asked me a ton of questions and then made m get a full blood panel. Most of the doctors overlapped in what they did. Such a waste of time and insurance money, if you ask me..

I'm from NY so I was watching the news the day this happened.... I was absolutely mortified for this woman. Come to find out she is my age and around my weight!! The newscaster actually said she is "somewhat of a large person" and I texted my friend about it. Really sad!!

Congratulations!

I know someone that wore ankle weights and long pants - seriously!

Thanks everyone. I realize everyone is here to help. I was hoping someone that had had LB with a small toddler could offer any advice. Thankfully I have his sitter, my mom and his dad helping for a full 7 days after surgery but I am going to resume much of his care after that. I had him Via c-section so I'm no stranger to stomach pain while taking care of a baby. I'm also concerned with the mindless eating that comes along with taking care of a baby. He grazes much of the day and what he doesn't eat I tend to automatically put in my mouth. Before I joined the site I was confident this was going to work, but reading about people that haven't lost a pound has totally scared me! I realize its in their power to change that but it still scares me.
