I'm looking for a buddie. Hopefully, someone who has a band date close to mine 04/14/09. I'm a 40 yr old, insurance adjuster in the DFW Texas area. Maybe we can go through this "together". :welldoneclap:

I'm self pay $10,500 includes, pre-op tests, and fills for a year. Dr. Kim in Colleyvilles. It's nothing compared to the what I've spend the last 20 years in diets, pills, gym equip, clothes in 10 different sizes... as with anything, as the years go by price goes down.

Thanks for all the great responses! I'll try them!

Any tips or suggestions for making it thru the 2wk pre-op liquid diet? My first day wasn't too bad but, I did have visions of sugar-plums dancing in my head. This is tough!

PAC, how'd you banding go? I'm scheduled for surgery on 04/14/09 w/ Dr. Kim. Would love to hear how your surgery went and how you're doing.

Sounds like y'all are doing great! Thanks for the responses.

Surgery scheduled for 04/14/09. Started pre-op Opti-fast today. Just wondering how much everyone lost on pre-op / post-op liquid diets. :wink:

For those not telling, how did you hide or explain the pre-op & post op liquid diet? I don't want to tell my co-workers I'm having the lap band. I'm worried all their questions will make me more nervous and freak me out. Any suggestions or tips on how to explain the liquid diet? I'm afraid someone will figure out my secret. :thumbup:
