Hello, I am a newbie at this forum and being banded on August 7 - YAH!!!! I am from Ontario. I have a question for those who have had surgery already. Do they put the tube down your throat during surgery? I had that done when I had my tubes tied and they said it was to make sure nothing got lodged in my throat while I was under. (Fillings, crowns, caps etc). It hurt my they do the same during lapband surgery . Thanks

Hi Kero, I am being banded at The Sugrical weight Loss Clinic on August 7th by Dr. Cobourn. Over there, they put everyone on the Optifast Diet for 2 or more weeks according to how much you must lose. We are not allowed anything else but the opti, black coffee or tea, and two cups of low glycemic veggies per day. I have to stay on the diet for 3 weeks prior to my surgery. I know this does not help with your situation...but just another Canadian response for you. queen bee:hungry:
