Hey Myst 51 I also go to St Vincent Carmel my surgeon is Dr. Gupta but I live 45 mins. away in Monrovia

Thanks, I still have the PBing and I think the term "slimming" best describes the event.

I have this "PBing" what does PB stand for? Puke Burp??

Hello fellow Indiana Bandsters I've been on LBT for a while but just found this thread and wanted to say, I'm in Monrovia IN and was banded at St Vincent Carmel by Dr. Cristine Gupta and had first fill on 9/27/08 next fill around thanksgiving. Things are going ok, I thought I would eat alot less than i can, but I am loseing weight. And I am learning to use this tool inside of me.:biggrin:

Yes my surgeon considered these full liquids "cottage cheese and yogurt" plus and whole lot more like oatmeal. I know they are all different. Remember when I was freaking out because I didn't have to go on a "liquid" pre-op diet? and it seems like everybody else on here did.

Yes thats what I do. I bought a really cute soft sided cooler from Target "with poka dots" and take Jello, Yogert, Cottage cheese, and A protein shake so I'm not stuck in a situation were I need to go in that fast food lane. I put everything in little tupperware containers already measured out and take plastic spoons.

:thumbup:Yup, thats how I did it I just copied and pasted it to my signature. It took me days to figure the ticker thing so I didn't even have the time to try the gittery signature, so glad to have an open invite to copy Thanks, Amy

Thanks, I feel so special now:rolleyes: I didn't have the time to figure out to make one for myself. I hope it works. Amy

I lost my ticker so i'm posting to see if I fixed it

apparently I can have the fattyest liver in town and it won't matter because I don't have a pre-op diet but if I did I would choose a protein powder with no artifical sweetners which you can find at the health food stores. because even though I'm fat I still care about what goes in my fat body

thanks for all your replys restless monkey it does make me feel better just to talk about it. Get the crazy thoughts out of my head!!

No I don't have any reason to doubt her but everybody on here has to do it. I'am just scared and looking to see if I should do the liquid diet on my own. Like if I get someone whos going to say I know somebody who didn't do the pre op diet and they DIED!! LOL

Here another thing I have to shower the night before AND the day of surgery with antibac. soap did anybody else have to do this? I would be offended but they told this to a class of us. So it's not just my stinky butt.

I should be glad but it doesn't seem like anybody getting the lapband from this DR. has to do a liquid diet. Should I think its BAD not to do one.

Great I lost my stupid Ticker thing and it took me forever to figure out how to get it on here.
