Hi all, I am getting banded January 8. I don't know what my pre-surgery diet will be yet. This process is happening very quickly for me. I started it at the end of October and my insurance approval went through without a hitch. I guess I should consider myself lucky. It will be done in a German hospital so it will be a little scary. The German's "pain management" differs from ours slightly. I am looking for an English speaking support group but untli then I will be using this site for my support. I would be happy for people to share as much as possible. Knowledge is power!

That's fantastic. Have they given you a pre-op diet? I am in Germany and the GErman doctor has not given me any details for mu surgery. It is scheduled for Jan. 8. I am curious as to how other doctors are doing it. Thanks!

This is my first time "blogging". I am scheduled for banding surgery on January 8th, and I am waiting for final insurance approval. I have a few questions about what it is like immediately after surgery. Would someone tell me where I could find something similar to a "Girlfriends Guide to Lap Banding"? I would like the all the details even the not so pretty ones.
