Hi Guys!

I will be getting banded on Halloween. I am so excited and ready to begin this journey. I will be sure to update when I can. Good luck to everyone else as well!

Hi I am suppose to be banded Oct 29 but my doc has tried to get me to do the RYGB instead and I kinda torn....

I start liquids tomorrow -- technically should begin Tuesday but I'm going to jump in Monday because, well, it's a Monday. 15 days. I didn't want to use the product provided by the hospital because it's milk-based and has ingredients I don't like to put in my body, so I got one called Thorne Mediclear in two flavors plus a greens shake and one other that is on back-order (thought variety might be good). Also taking liver cleanse herbs for detoxing. Plus I have my juicer out on the counter -- have to watch calories with fresh juice, though -- I am trying to stay at 900. Husband and son will have to fend for themselves and we have no social engagements lined up, etc. (I am not telling very many people...). I'm working out all I can to set my body up for burning and just for optimal health going into this project, Project Me.

Are you having the Band? My doc says one week liquids for the band and RYG, why are you doing 2 weeks? Just curious?

Hi All!!! Okay well my date changed when I went into my Doc's office. The date is Oct 29th and I do not have all my items and my Doctor has convienced me to change to the Mini RYGB. I am scared, should I change? He says the mini will help me acheive my weight loss but sigh, I am so scared.

Yep we will be bandies!!! So its only people with major weight loss. Whew I was so stressed. How do I get the chart?

Hi all, I am approved and scheduled the first week of Nov but do not have the exact date until my bloodwork appointment Nov 17. Wow I am so scared and now I am reading about Hair loss. Someone give me some strength!!!

Hello Everyone! I am pre-op looks like my surgery date will be the first of November. My surgeon is going on vaca and they are unsure what day.

Just a few days ago, I found this website and have been reading everything because I am scared. Alot!! This is the first I have heard of hair loss because of the lapband. Is this the norm or a select few. i am already scared of having the surgery now I will lose my hair.. Maybe I should just try another diet. Sigh. Any advise would be great.

Good Luck!!!
