I went to true results Houston in the medical center. I was banded on 12/14/11 by doctor hollis. They are great before the surgery and more importantly with the after care. I still go once a month to get checked out and filled up if necessary. If you have any questions just ask.

Ew! I don't have to do a liquid diet. I'm on 2 Protein shakes a day and 1 meal (8oz lean meat, 1cup veggies, and 1 cup fruit). I hope the liquid post op isn't too bad. Lol

You are lucky. I had to do two weeks pre op full liquids. and 48 hours pre op full Clear Liquids. bleh, I think i had a total of 500 calories between yesterday and today. But surgery is in about 16 hours and I've lost 15 lbs, so i'd say in the end it has been worth it :lol:

My goodness! If you can make it through that without the band, then I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine with it! Good luck tomorrow! I'll be watching for updates!

Hi Lizzy, Welcome to LBT! We're all friends here, so join the party. I'm getting banded Oct 15. The people on this forum have taught me a lot about the ins & outs of the band.

Best wishes on your journey!

      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!!
