Some of my co workers know, and some of my family and friends know I've had it done. I don't mind people knowing, but sometimes it can be annoying explaining what the lap band is and what it does to every person. I did weight watchers before (lost 75lbs at one point), so I'll just tell the people I don't want to know that I'm back on that...I think telling people can be good, if you need the support.

I was banded on Tuesday. Do you think tomorrow is too soon to start my protein shakes?

I've been thinking about it since I was 21, I'm 23 now and my surgery is tomorrow.

My surgery is also on the 4th. I have been on the pre op diet of Optifast for a week and lost 12lbs so far on that(well since Tuesday)... My best friend had her surgery on nov 27th and I was at the hospital with her, so I got to see a little of what I can expect... only 2 more days and I cannot wait! :biggrin1:

I have everything ready for my pre and post-op, but I do not know what vitamins to get. Does anyone have any suggestions, anything chewable (duh!) and fruit flavored... And chewable calcium too...?

I am looking to talk to people who have already had their surgery done... I get banded on december 4th and I am more than excited.... height 5'9" current weight - 315 (will probably lose after the week of Optifast diet) BMI - 46.5
