I am unsure how to do this guess I better learn I think it will be a good tool for me .Finally it is here!! Actually it only took me a month from time I saw the doctor.I still have my scope to do only this coming Friday. I am older then most but feel very confident.I would love to read a daily blog from someone that has had a lapband please let me know if you have one.My 2 wks before is coming up I think I am ready for the diet. Has anyone been like me trying to get the last good meals in I have been doing that for a couple weeks :confused: probably gained some more I will have to lose.

Hi! I, too, tried to get in some favorite foods that I knew I would have to give up in the future. But I didn't gain to much. I had my surgery May 26th and have lost 25 pounds so far. I had my first fill last week. I wish you all the best with your upcoming surgery. Good Luck!

Welcome, I am going to be 62. I had my lapband done in Oct 2009. To date I have lost 50 lbs post op, but 35 lbs on the 6 month diet my insurance required. My PCP advised me on my last apt that all my blood came back ok. No more high cholesterol and any other obesity signs. I know that it was not a"piece of cake" but I am moving on through. I am 7 lbs from my surgeons goal. Good luck to you!:confused:
