Thanks for the heads up about making sure to get your band size. That is weird, seems like an important detail... I am getting banded by Dr. Salimitari on July 15th, gulp!!! I am starting to get the jitters but I think I am more excited than anything else. The info on nutrition that Top Surgeons gave me for immediately post op was pretty sparse. Can anyone give me some suggestions on what is best to have handy? Can you have as much Clear liquids as necessary first 9 days or are there restrictions in amounts? You aren't supposed to have Protein shakes on clear liquid diet, right? That seems like I would get pretty dizzy just on clear liquids. Any suggestions? Also, I would love to hear some success stories from people being banded by Dr. Sal, just to set my nerves at ease...Thanks!

Hi there, this is my first post in lapbandtalk. I am so excited, my surgery is on July 15th!~ I got a cold last week and have had to delay for one week:frown: but I'm pleased to say that my surgery is, once again, just around the corner :frown:. Anyone else out there getting banded this July from Los Angeles?
