Hey bikers- I am probably having surgery the first part of Aug ( i should know by the week's end the for sure date) and so how long before you were riding again. I'm talking a little evening ride, not an iron butt or anything...:-)

Your post is so encouraging--thanks for sharing the GOOD news, too!!

Best of luck to you with your upcoming surgery--you're on your way, now! Who's your doc?

Wow, that's next week! (justs in case you forgot, right?) So are you doing a pre op liquid diet? What else have you done to prepare? Yikes, I am getting nervous and I don't have a date yet!

"I'm going to be me again" --I really love this statement! When I think of all of the things I have not done or places I have not been to because of being overweight I get so excited about getting the band. I think, not only will we be able to be ourselves--we will be even happier after having this burden removed from our lives! Then, I get really scared, too-I am a big chicken-no pain for me, please...nope, don't like it. It's a rollercoaster of emotions with this thing, I agree. Thanks for listening. You can return the favor anytime :confused:

I am in the pre-approval process with my insurance and hope to be banded in Aug, at Hennepin Co Med Center, with Dr Lederer. The post op diet is: 2 weeks liquids, 2 weeks mushies, 2 weeks soft, then regular food. Anyone else have a similar post op? Oh, I have a one week liquied diet pre-op. What about your pre-op?
