Anyone have any input on using Visalus shakes?

I'm glad to see another newbie! I'm getting banded this Friday. This site has been a huge help!

My surgeon is Marsden as well! I have been going thru as many of the forum questions as possible before Friday. I'm not too worried about the pain. I have an extremely high tolerance, and I've had another laparoscopic procedure before for female stuff, plus two c-sections. Thanks for the tips!

Thank you for the feedback! I have found that being on this site is very helpful.

Anyone have any feedback on how to deal with friends and/or family that is unsupportive? I've been told that I should be able to lose the weight like a normal person if I tried hard enough, that I'm taking the easy way out, among others. I've stopped sharing with anyone that I'm having surgery except for this site and a couple friends that have had a bariatric procedure.

I'm on the schedule for THIS Friday! How did you do the first few days/weeks?

I just saw your "title"of lap band evangelist... Love it!

I've already got the travel insurance for the trip. I'm actually trying to move my date up to give a little more time before travel. If that doesn't work, I'm going to evaluate from there.

I'm scheduled for the 16th, but may be moving it up to the 2nd

Yay! I'm so glad to know there is someone so close!

I did tell them I'd be flying, and there did not seem to be an issue. I'll check again tho, especially for the clot issues. To me, being on liquid is easier for the trip... I'm loaded up on

I'm in Wylie... I've done a ton of research already. I'm ready to go, just want to be sure i have not missed anything.

Anyone have experience with significant travel in the first month after surgery? I'm scheduled for surgery just ten days before flying to Africa, and just want to get feedback.

Anyone have firsthand experience with True Results?
