Hi, I am 52 years old, also diabetic, hypertensive, have sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, as well as a breast cancer survivor of two years. I had lap=band surgery two weeks ago on June 11 because I am soooooo tired of all the paid an exhaustion from all these conditions, and needed to do something to improve the quality of my life. So far, I have not had any negative experinces with the band and am looking forward to the journey to better health!:thumbdown:

I had my surgery two weeks ago, on June 11. I was on liquids for one week, adn lost 11 pounds. After that forst week, the nutritionist put me on mushy food, and I have onky lost 2 pounds since then, but I have tried some solid food (soft fish) and dfinitely feel the restriction when I eat that. My first fill will be on July 30 and I am on soft and mushy foods til then, but my doctor said that after the first fill, my weight loss will accelerate, if I eat the right foods, of course.:thumbdown:

Hi, my name is Aili, and I am new to this site. I have my first educational session with the lap-band surgeon next week, and was wondering how long this entire pre-surgery process takes. :biggrin:
