Hi, Be encouraged you can do it. I am a teacher as well and to be honest it wasnt that hard to walk by. I recently had my surgery on April 30th and its all about the lifestyle change.

Hi, That is good news. I have two more days and I will have my band. It was smart for you to start watching what you are eating. Then it will be easier for you on the 5 day preop. I had to do 10 days. Talk to you later! Mercedes

Hello, I noticed that you have the same doctor that I have. I am scheduled for surgery on Wednesday, April 30th . When you went in at 7:15 what time did they perform the actual surgery? and what time were you released?were you pleased with Dr Erbella and Dr Bunch? did you experience much gas pain? how many days did you take off from work? well take care and I hope the swelling goes down. Take Care

Hi Lynne, Glad to hear your surgery went well. How many days did you have to take off from work? that's pretty awesome tha your doctor was able to get all of the gas before closing you up:) Take Care and keep us posted of your progress. I am scheduled for April 30th.

Hi, I am right behind you. My surgery date is April 30th and I start the pre -op diet on tomorrow (sunday). Lets keep each other encouraged:)

Hi my band date is April 30th and I start my pre-op diet on Sunday. Mercedes

Good Luck! I start the liquid diet on Sunday and I get the band on April 30th:) Let's keep each other encouraged ......the good and the bad. Mercedes

Keep the faith you will be approved. I am kinda nervous about the 10 day diet.......But with God I can do anything:)

yes, its only 10 days and it is outpatient.

Hello, I will be beginning the 10 diet on Sunday and I have my pre-op appt. on Wednesday. I will be banded on Wednesday the 30th. My doctor is Dr Eurbella. I wanted to know is there any advice out there in regards to the pre-op appt. I know I go to the hospital for tests, watch a video, return to the surgery center to meet to nutritionist, get prescriptions... Any advice would be great:) Mercedes
