Hi Everyone!!

I am from the Kansas City area and am super excited to get started with the Lap Band. I have done my seminar, met with the nutritionist, and had my psych eval. per my insurance, so now I am just waiting for their approval call. Waiting is the hardest part I think. Well, up until this point. After reading a lot of posts it sounds like the pre and post op diets are going to be a bit challenging as well. It's all for a good cause though so I am willing to suffer a bit. I am very anxious, and have lots of questions, but am learning lots from you all. I have been stalking this forum for several weeks now:) I finally got the nerve up to post something!!

I look forward to taking this journey with you all.

Welcome! KC here too (well, Blue Springs) and I'm scheduled for March 1st. Who's ur doc?

Dr. Malley. What about you? If it is Dr. Malley tell me about your pre-op diet Best of luck to you!

congrats on your decision..this is a great place for support. feel free to PM with any questions you might have. i was banded may of 2011.

I am actually driving to Denver for Dr. Weaver. He is running an AWESOME special right now for $8450! My pre-op diet is no carb/high protein for 2 weeks to shrink the liver. I've seen ppl on here doing a 2 week all liquid diet, so I'm not sure. I guess it just depends on what ur Dr. suggests. Let me know what u think of Dr. Malley, I think I'll be using him for my fills, cuz driving to CO every 2 weeks to a month is not really an option!
