Any being banded Friday?

I am!

I've read for weeks now that people get nervous before and I kept saying that I wouldn't be nervous.

But here I am, terrified!!

My biggest fear is my stupid liver! They keep telling me that my liver may not shrink enough and that they will sew me up and try again in two weeks. I don't think I could go through this again.

Why are they scaring me!?

Don't worry about it, your liver will be just fine if you followed the pre op diet! Good luck!

I've lost 10 pounds so far, so I think I am doing it right. The dietician told me she's seen people lose weight and their liver still wasn't shrunk enough. I am not worired about anything other than the stupid liver!

I'm getting banded on Friday and I am excited.

This year, I won't gain 10 lbs during the holidays.

With a little help from my band, I will finally lose the weight and KEEP IT OFF.

Mine's Friday too. I lost 9 lbs and weighed today and gained two! What the? I called Dr and she said it's from the lactose in the shakes since I'm lactose intolerant. Um would've been a good heads up since it "lactose" isn't an ingredient on the can! Lol they didn't seem very concerned though.

I was diagnosed with a fatty liver by a gastroentronologist prior to my surgery. I had all sorts of tests to make sure it was nothing else. I followed the pre-diet to a tee, lost 16 lbs and had my band surgery last Thursday. Believe me, my fatty liver did not go away by 2 weeks of diet. They are trying to scare you and they did. That said, follow the diet. It is a good intro to the next several weeks. If i had not had that head start, I would not be able to deal with the hungry I am having now while I heal.

Just 3 more days til mushies!
