My name is Jessica I am 28 years old and I am scheduled to be banded on Nov 10th. I have a concern, I spoke witht the nurse today that sceduled my pre-op appointment for nov 5th.. which is just 5 days before surgery. I asked if I needed to go on a pre-op diet before I met with him and she said no. She said that the docter would give me a diet to follow when i met with him (i guess i am just supposed to follow it for 5 days). Is this normal.
WOW :thumbup: We are being banded on the same day... with the same surgeon. My pre-op appt is Nov 3 and I too was told I did not have to follow a pre-op diet. This journey has been so FAST and unbeleivable to me. I filled out the online informational request and received a call a week later from the nurse saying my request was approved and that I could schedule my appt as early as Nov 3. I chose Nov 10th because Nov 5th will be my 35th birthday.
Any November 2009 Bandsters??
