Hi Everyone

My name is Bre and I have just finished my pre-surgery diet and I am scheduled to have my lap band put in tomorrow, 2/15/11, which is also my daughter's 5th birthday. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I have about 100 pounds to lose, I've lost 10 on the pre-surgery diet... I'm so happy that there is this website so that we can all learn and grow together... Lettin our new life begin

I'm heading for surgery on 2/17/11. I completely understand your feelings - having those same feelings myself. I've lost 55 lbs on the pre-surgery program so I feel I'm well on my way . . . but it's still a life changing decision . . .

WOW that is AMAZING!!!!! Congratulations!!!! How long did you have to do the pre-surgery diet? I had to do nine days of no food, just protein shakes and 1 protein bar a day... Good Luck on your up and coming surgery date!!! I'll send positive thoughts and wishes your way
