I am not required to do one. My Dr. says he does require some people, especially males to do them but that I wouldn't need to.

I have a date! Aug 21st!!! No pre-op diet for me???

I just had a c-section in March and was painting the nursary the day after I came home. (albeit I was in pain the next day for that) I work in HR, so it's a sit down job. I just don't want to take too much time off after just getting back from maternity leave..

How soon did those of you that work outside the home go back to work? I'd love to have it on a Friday and go back Monday but I just don't know how realistic that is? :sneaky:

I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been thinking about lapband for quite a while and finally went to my consult on Monday. After convincing my husband to let me have the surgery I have my pre-op scheduled for tomorrow! We're paying ourselves (16,900...ouch) so I'm a little nervous about that. I was wondering how long other self pays took to go through the whole process? I also have a 5 month old, will I be able to lift him soon after surgery? (I ask because my sister had bypass surgery and couldn't for two weeks, I realize this is isn't as extreme but was curious) For all of you, what did you find the hardess part of the entire process? pain? not eating? etc.? Did you tell people you knew? I'm kind of torn as to if I should tell work? I'm scared to tell my mother because my sister had horrible problems with her bypass (she just had hers redone again due to problems). Thanks, Dawn
