According to the nutritionist visit, I will need to be on a lowfat, carb 1000cal/day diet for two preferably three weeks prior to surgery and then a clear liquid diet for 2 full days before surgery. I have often thought it and my husband actually said it last night....."if you can do that, then why do you need surgery?" It's a good question and I don't have an answer.

So I was diagnosed with sleep Apnea several weeks ago and have since started using a CPAP machine, I have the mask that just covers my nose and I find that I get a lot of air swallowed each night, so in turn I burp a lot in the morning. I have not been banded yet, so I am wondering does anyone else out there who is banded and has sleep apnea have this problem or think this is going to be a problem for me? Any info is appreciated.

I just wanted to post and say hello. I found this forum through another link on the web. I have been researching the Lap-Band for several months now. I have already had my initial consultation and have been a bunch of required appointments prior to being able to schedule my surgery. At one point I decided I wasn't going to move forward and after some recent serious thought, I have scheduled the rest of my preliminary appointments and have decided to go through with it. I'm sure as time goes by I will have questions but for now I enjoy reading all of your posts.
