Brittani87 got a reaction from Ada81 in August 6th...time for a healthy change. anyone else new in august?
Donna I wish you the best of luck. I know it's not hard to stress and worry because I was there too. I was wanting my surgery done before I went back to work and I started stressing as the end of July approached. I just kept praying about it and on July 23 they called and said insurance approved it and that my doctor scheduled me for the following Tuesday he opened that day for me because normally he just does the surgeries on Wednesday's and he knew how important it was to me to get this done. If u don't mind me asking what state you're from..I mean if ur from Kentucky/Indiana I could give u my doctors name. But stay positive everything will work out

I just had my band surgery on Tuesday. My doctor just required a 1500 calorie diet before surgery. I'm on the liquid diet now...but I'm ready to move it forward to my soft food diet bc I have alot more options. Good luck to all!

I started at 389 before surgery and had to go on my 1500 calorie diet two weeks before. My surgery was this past Tuesday and I weighed in at 374. My scale did go back up some but it's bc of all the swelling from surgery so if you see your numbers go up don't get discouraged. I weighed in today and I'm down 373. I will take that sixteen pounds! Good luck with your surgery!

Brittani87 got a reaction from bosscookie in Drinking before getting Lap Band?
I just had my band surgery on Tuesday and according to my doctor you don't want a lot of alcohol in your system. It could make your band become erosion and slip. The occasional drink I don't think will hurt but its not something if your out with friends u don't want to drink one after another. Bc it could cause u to throw up and therefore if that happens your stoma is swollen above your band and you won't get anything down for at least 12 hours so then you will be stuck on a liquid diet for 12 hours until ur stoma shrinks back down below the band. If you can have a good time without the alcohol then I say to avoid it. But on a special occasion I don't think one would hurt you.
