Hi Shmoopy, I am sooo excited I got my surgery date today 11/09/09!!!! my surgeon is Dr. Julie Kim. How many incision holes do you have? She said she could go through my belly button and one other for the port?? Is that what you had? Also was there any pre-op testing or physical you had to do? how long before the surgery? How are you? any closer to the 50lb mark? Well good luck with your progress...

Hi Shmoopy, Just checking in to see how you are doing? I met with my surgeon yesterday and they told me the same thing, that i should hear from them in two weeks with my surgery date!! I was really nervous because I only lost 7lbs but they said for me to NOT gain a lb and try to lose more, and if all goes well, I should have surgery in late oct, or early nov... How are you feeling? Are you at stage 5 yet? Best wishes...

LOL I am suffering from the same syndrome right now!! I will see how the yellow book diet goes and just increase my activity level and hopefully that will help. How long after you met with Dr. Shah did you get your surgery date? Did she have you on a special diet the week before? I have heard other people from different hospitals say they had to do only liquids...I read the weight loss for dummies book too. I wish they had more books on just the lap band.

Hi again, I was wondering you said you lost 9lbs did they give you a specific weight amount to lose? I have to lose 20lbs but have not been doing to well with it and am thinking of doing the meal replacement shakes and bars they recommended in they yellow book. Did you have any special instruction for a pre-op diet?

Hi, I noticed your surgery was done by Julie Kim at Tufts. I am scheduled to meet with her 8/20/09. Just wondering if you still go to Tufts for fills and how your expierence with them has been.

I went today to the consult. I go 8/4 for an imegent day and I will be their the whole day getting info.I have to lose 10lbs... 20lbs would be ideal but any loss is better then none. I meet with my surgeon and nutritionist 8/20 and I will get a date then If I show some results and have lost some weight. They said if everything goes well my surgery will be in about 3-4 months. They seem really nice and stressed being comitted to the aftercare as well. How have you been doing?

I meet with them on wednesday 7/15 and will have more news then. Wow 3 weeks ago for you, How are you feeling? Does Lahey still require the 6 month supervised diet?

I actually decided to go thru Tufts Nemc's weight and wellness canter. My Co-worker went trough them for her LB. She has had the band for almost 5 months and lost a little over 40lbs with no fill. I know everyones results are different but she is very happy with her surgeon Dr. shikora and his staff. SHe said they answer all her questions and are very helpful. Are you going through Lahey?

Hi I just noticed you are from Boston too and we are the same age, I am just starting the process and am going through tufts nemc. How do you feel so far about your choice of the lapband? I went back and forth for a year before I came to this decision. I go for my psych eval in 2 weeks and am getting nervous lol. best wishes on your journey
