I copy that from a lap band doctor, hope that thats what you needed

DIET PRIOR TO SURGERY You will need to follow this simple diet for 3 days and the last meal at your arrival day will be at 8 am. So the lab personnel will take blood samples. After that you will be able to eat. · All kinds of liquids · Water, tea, lemon water (Take at least 1.5 liters a day) · Water, tea, fruit juice drinks, natural fruit beverages, chicken stock, vegetables cream soups, skim milk, yogurt, jelly (gelatin desserts) . · Same liquids plus 3 pureed foods a day (a first stage of Gerber sized, strained). · Mashed fruits, vegetables, cereals (oatmeal, rice, potato, noodles, mixed). After your surgery we will provide you personalized care, giving attention to identifying your needs and evaluating outcome. Good luck Charles

I hate that, people sometimes think that the surgery it's because of image, to look better, yeah thats a plus but it's a healthy way to live, with obesity you have a lot of problem dissease in the future but people don't see that.

Well, like everyone i love your name, welcome to the community

I'm in San Diego, hello to all!

Congratulations, you are a roll model for us

Well it's a hard decision but just tell him that it's between you two, if hes against that well, tell him that it's a good way because later you would have a lot of problems and remember that if you wait to talk, when you do it he would notice that you didn't tell fromthe begining and there would be a problem.

Thats true girl, it´s hard at the begining but hang in there and you would see the diference, remember, the hard part for wakening up it´s the begining, getting up from bed, after all it´s not that bad. Charles

Dear Lorrie : about your concern with blood clots, what surgeons do to prevent or diminish the risk of this event happening are three things : 1= anticoagulant one hour prior to surgery 2= squezzers on your legs 3= the most important issue, early ambulation postoperatively 4 to 6 hours after your operation there are certain risk to develop DVT-TPE including but not limited to sedentarism, prolonged bedrest, certain operations especially pelvic involving operation, certain drugs, etc. , wheter this aply to you I dont know. I am recomending you and excellent surgeon who has practiced bariatric surgery with succes , he´s based in Tijuana , his name is Ricardo R. Kelly, he has placed over a thousand bands with no complications, not major anyway, just the normal to any procedure his page is www.obesitybusters.com and his phone number is 619 793 4869. I hope you can benefit from my advice. Charles
