  1. Remember this is about HEALTH. If you had to have surgery for cancer would they be against it. My brother died a year ago. he weighed over 400 lbs. refused to go to the Drs. I was having breathing issues and had many times I thought I would die in my sleep. I was band failure and had revision to bypass. I'm not sorry. 7 weeks out 35lbs down.

  19. I have a band on Tuesday I'm having revision to bypass. I wanted sleeve at first but because of reflux they said it's not a good idea. Many sleevers also revise to bypass, so day after tomorrow Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
  20. Preop Monday. Magnesium Citrate and water. Clear liquids all day. If your done colonoscopy prep this is doable. I prefer this, at least it's a good start. Still doing low carb high fat. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
  21. So I wasn't going to comment but I'm one of those that will have band to bypass. I learned with band how to eat the things that I used to binge on. I did it more and more. Messed up my band and could not get it back. I know down the road I will control that after bypass. Like with any diet I've ever been on I couldn't stick to it. Bypass will be a new game. I survived the holidays for the most part. As a Preop. I know I CAN'T EAT JUST ONE. well bypass so hope I'm one that will dump. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
  22. Mine is the 16th. I got my insurance approval Monday Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
  23. I would do low carb high fat diet. I'm scheduled for lapband to bypass the 16th. If there is too much scar tissue they may not beable to do bypass then so I will have to stick to that. If it's not on the list to eat in not eating it. Just go to support groups and your Drs office. I failed my band and then couldn't get back on track. 10 Years of it and it needs to go Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
