I was on Optifast and I would suggest not skipping any. They are already very low in calories and you don't want your body to think you're starving it. But, I'm no expert!

Hello to All,

I have just gotten approved...April18th.

I will be having surgery in Las Vegas under Dr. Umbach.

I am looking forward so much to getting in my old clothes.

I was a size 6 until 2008....I have since gained and and up 80 pounds since I was 125.

I had always been overweight, then at 40 yrs old, I decided to make a lifestyle change. I lost 130 pounds and kept it off for 12 years. Just had blinders on and once I had lost the first 15 pounds I was off to the races...this time...I need help....I feel the lap band is my "tool".

hope to be able to follow along with others banded in April

Marlene

I'm in southern Cali too. I used to live in Anaheim, but moved to Menifee. If you start a support group I'd be willing to travel Back down to the OC :) I did not like the meetings I had attended.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
