I also have a 6 (almost 7) month old and have the same concerns. I'm also still nursing my son and I'm scared my milk is going to dry up with the lack of eating. I'm so sad about it because I wanted to breastfeed for atleast a year but I keep telling myself that I made it this far which is a lot further than I ever thought I would and that surgery is definitely for the better. Good luck to you!

I'm new here! So hi all!!! I just started my band journey and had my first consult with the surgeons office two weeks ago. I met with the nutritionist and briefly with the surgeon. I got all my scripts for pre-op testing and so far have completed the bloodwork and sono of the liver and gallbladder. I just need to have pulmonary clearance and cardiac clearance which I have appointments for next week. I keep reading about people being on a pre-op diet. Is this something you do to lose weight before surgery? Or prepare your stomach for the surgery? What is it for? No one mentioned anything to me about a pre-op diet. I am 4'11" and my bmi is 38.8. Was I maybe not told I need to diet before surgery because my bmi is on the lower side of what is required for surgery? So confused!!
