Hi everyone,

I'm new in here, but think I prefer this site than the OH (Obesity Help).

So, I'm scheduled to have surgery this coming Friday, the 17th. I only have to do the clear liquid diet the day before the surgery, then for several days there after. Although I am considering doing the plication with the lapband so I'm not sure of their requirements. I don't have my pre-op until Thursday so I'm hoping to get some tips from people in here

Does anyone have any experience with the combo of plication & lapband? Are the dietary restrictions the same? Is a hospital stay required?

Can someone give me an example of a clear liquid diet progressing ot a soft food diet, please?

Sorry for al lthe questions, but I do appreciate the help!

Thanks

Fran

If you want to send me PM wirh email, I'll scan all my info and send to you. I has all stages of diet & sample menus.

Just PM'd you, thanks again!

i had the plication and banding and have lost 53 pounds so far

i stayed overnight in the hospital and i find from reading on here and meeting people

at my dr's office, my surgery is not much different than just the band.

i had to do 2 week pre and post op liquid diet

its all up to your doctors requirements

hope this helps

ps..OH is a neg website. best to stay on this forum.
