Good Luck to you. And yes this is a decision only you can make and only you know what is right for you. I kindof had some doubts before surgery myself. I was on this website daily reading and reading. This website holds more information than any seminar could possibly teach. And then I went for it and had the surgery and couldn't be happier. I love my band!!

You will make the right choice.

Wow glad to hear you are doing good. Keep up the good work.

WOW, congratulations to you. Keep up the hard work...

Good Luck to you. I am still waiting insurance approval so am not yet banded, but I can't wait. I have also tried to do the preop liquid diet just to get used to it. It hasn't been that bad. So that is a good idea to start on protein shakes and cutting carbs.

I have been trying to do this as well. I am still waiting for insurance approval, but I am trying the preop diet just to see if I can do the liquid diet and also I figure to lose some weight as well. I did good all last week monday thru friday and then over the weekend it was a little rough. But tomorrow is monday and I am back to the preop diet again.

I can relate to everything you have said. I am not yet banded but can't wait until I can live a normal life too. You have taken the first step and now it is just a matter of time. You will be getting healthier and smaller by the day. Good Luck to you!!!

I am not banded yet but been trying the preop liquid diet just to see if I could do it and have found that the EAS carb Advantage is the best shake out there.

Wow, that is great you got your surgery date. Congratulations and Good Luck to you!! I can't wait until I get my surgery approved by my insurance. Been doing the 6 month supervised dr visits and waiting for my psych eval next week, then they can submit to my insurance. My fingers are crossed.
