Is it okay to exercise during the pre-op diet? I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and it looks like I'll be ingesting very little calories. Is it wise to continue with my exercise regimen?

Wow, that's your surgery date too? When are you starting pre-op?

I'm from Houston, TX.

Haha yeah. No, I start my pre-op diet on July 30th. When do you start yours?

I'm an August bander! August 13th I have 113 pounds to lose. I'm very excited.

Hi Evelyn, I'm being banded in Houston on August 13th. I wish you the best of luck with your surgery! Vanessa

Getting banded on August 13th and I am so excited! I am doing this through True Results Houston. Does anyone here have any experience with them? Anyone recently got banded and have advice for me?

Yeah, it's my first time having surgery. And yeah, I've recently also been making lifestyle changes and exercising. I just figure I need a tool that will help keep me from relapsing and help me lose more weight as I have a long way to go (113 pounds!) Other than anesthesia, my other big concern is excess skin. I really hope I don't have issues with elasticity and excess tummy skin since I'm planning on losing so much weight.

I'm having my surgery done with True Results in Houston, TX, so I'll be with my family for a bit post-op. Otherwise I study/live in Chicago. I have been a bit apprehensive. You read soooo many negative posts with people who didn't lose weight because they didn't take it seriously. But I'm pretty darn determined to make this work in the long run and stick to what my doctor tells me what to do and exercise my bum off when I get the OK. I'm also kinda afraid of anesthesia, haha. But all in all, I am excited and looking forward to change. What about you?

I start my pre-op diet on the 30th. I am so excited to get this done, haha. Where are you getting your surgery done?

Oh cool, we're just a day apart in being banded! Yay!

Hello! I'm new to the board. Just got the news that my tentative Lap Band surgery date is August 13th. I am super excited and a little bit nervous. I am doing my Lap Band through True Results in Houston. Does anyone have experience with them? Anyone else getting banded in August?
