Hi everyone. I'm new and just wanted to put myself out there. My journey started in August of last year. I'm still doing circus poodle tricks to satisfy my insurance company, but my final appointment is in less than 2 weeks. I hope to be banded in February. Reading all of your posts is very inspiring and informative. Is there anything you wish you knew before that you know now? I'm super excited and welcome any and all responses. ♥
WOW!!! That is fantastic! 123lbs! My doctor gave me a diet plan on my first visit and told me to start applying little changes here and there. That way, by surgery time, there wouldn't be as much fat on my liver. I have been reading about the 14 day liquid diet (pre op) some people are on..... kinda terrified over here! That thing looks hard core! But if it means the difference between getting banded and not getting banded, BRING IT!!!
Congrats everone on their surgery dates! I have my last appointment on Jan 29th and I hope to be a part of the Feb '14 Banders :-) Did anyone have to do a diet prior to getting your band date?
