Friday. The Lapband is my choice and also my doctor's, because I am 60 yrs. young and less invasive. I am diabetic and have not been following the proper diet. The Doc told me to get on the diabetic diet and loose weight before the next appointment, which is the first week in March. I started yesterday after my consultation. I'm soooooooo excited to have this done. I've been doing soooo good with my food intake, except last night when I went to a crab chippino fest. ...oh so bad. My Doc wants all of the patients to have a psych and nutrition evaluation before the procedure. Is this the procedure for all of the other physicans? I live in the San Francisco Area. Anyone else in my area so that we can hook up?

thanks in advance for the support.

p.s. how do I get the tickler onto my posts?

:clap2:

Welcome to LBT Laura.

Yea I think it is pretty standered to have a psych and nutrition evaluation before surgery. I know of some Doc's that also want you to get a sleep study done. All Surgeons are different.

I didn't have to do a long diet to lose weight before surgery but I did have to go on a full liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery to help shrink my liver.

Good luck,

Thanks for the welcome, I also need a stress test because of my MVP.

I see you found out how to do the ticker. Welcome! The stress test was nothing for the wife. Just walking on the treadmill and a couple of heart rate checks.
