Right after we quit texting last night I actually found a surgeon on my side of the metroplex who does the Iband.....Dr. Davidson at BSC Dallas. I didn't research too much on him since it was getting late and I needed to get to bed, but from what I saw, he seems to be very experienced in WLS. And, his fees for the the lap band alone are $1100.00 cheaper, a big bonus. Hopefully, the Iband is the same. I have already signed up for one of his seminars in 2 weeks and in the meantime am going to do further research on him.

Every penny helps!!!!!!

Thinking of you today and hoping day 1 goes good!

That's great!!! Keep me posted...do excited for you I had my pre op and nutrition appt today. It's 2 weeks away and I'm freaking out! But in a good way. If I can just make it thru this 2 weeks of liquids!!! Lol!

How has today gone Tahnee?

Started off really good but then all hell broke loose!! Ugh! I'm so mad at myself. Day one and I already blew it. Tomorrow is a new day. I need a pep talk!!

Aawww Tahnee. Sorry it was a rough day. Truthfully, I wonder if they give us a two week liquid diet because they need us to be compliant 5 days and they know us over eaters! :-)

You are right, tomorrow is a new day and you can do it. Truthfully, I wanna go to sleep two weeks before surgery and not wake up till several weeks after it. Do you get any solids or is it a complete liquid diet?

I know I think they want to torture us!! Lol! Some people don't have a pre op diet. I get 2 protein shakes, soup, jello and sugar free Popsicles and pudding in moderation of course

I'm still looking into the plication. I called Dr. Davidsons office today because they advertise it on their site. The lady I talked to said they are supposed to be taking the plication surgery off their site because he isn't currently doing it. She said he trained to do it though. I told her I know of someone having it in Ft. Worth and I am interested in it, but can't seem to find anyone on this side of the metroplex doing it. She mentioned Dr. Davidson trained with a doctor in Ft. Worth and I brought up Dr. Smiths name and she said yes. She was very surprised I knew that. She is supposed to talk to the doctor and get back to me for the final word.
