I am having my lap-band removed and laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery on 8 December. I started my presurgery diet this past Sunday. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I will be in the hospital for 4 days. I have to report to the hospital the night before.

My date was moved to December. Good luck everyone.

We don’t do liquid or-surgery diets in Israel. We told to do a low carb diet of 5 small meals three weeks prior to surgery, but I am starting now.

I am having my lapband removed and laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery on 24 November. I am excited, but also nervous about the removal part of the surgery. I really hope it is a smooth operation. I feel much better prepared this time around because I have been working with a therapist since February who specialises in emotional eating and uses a mindfulness approach. She has helped me unlock the why and I have had several Aha moments in discovering why I have been an emotional eater since I was a child.

I am almost 3 months out and am only having my first fill on Monday. I have lost 5kg so far. I too am a bit frustrated, but I hope I will lose more weight once I have my first fill.

Don't forget me. I haven't been added to the list yet.

No April fools joke, my surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning! Yippeeee! Good luck to everyone who is having surgery tomorrow.

I was supposed to have been banded this Sunday morning, March 29th, and by 2pm they came and told me that they could not perform the surgery. Apparently there was an 8hr emergency surgery that took up the OR I was suppose to have my surgery in. They asked me stay overnight to try and fit me in today, but at 12pm, they said it was a no go. So, they discharged me and are rescheduling either this Wed, Thurs or next week. I won't know until tomorrow. So, now I am April bandster. Good luck everyone.

I am getting nervous and excited - 2 days to go. My lap band was delivered to my house yesterday and is in a box in my living room. I am curious to see what it looks like up close and in person, but I don't want to contaminate it, so I won't. I know you are all reading this in horror, but this is perfectly normal in Israel. I am suppose to bring the lap band with me to the hospital on Sunday.

Thanks for the advice. I was planning to have chicken soup for the next few days.

I am getting banded on Sunday. The first day of the week in Israel is Sunday.
