Anyone else getting banded in December? If so lets keep in touch until our day.

Dec 4 here. I started drinking muscle milk as its in my pre-op book of choices. Love it!! But I was googling it to see the vita/nutri and there are actually being investigated and may be taken off the shelf. Figures once I like something so good and its lite it has arsenic, cadium, mercury etc high levels if you drink 2 much a day.

I heard about 310 shake? Anyone take that?

Dr. Cohen told me to start my pre-op diet On Nov 27 5 days before surgery.......

I'm going to be banded December 15th and I'm moreso excited than I am nervous! Upper endo was done Friday, and I start my pre-op diet on Monday! good luck December bandsters!

Sorry! I forgot to add that I am getting the banded plication as well!

Muscle Milk Lite is not being removed from shelves & does not have mercury in them. I've been in contact with Sam's Club, Target, Shop Rite, Walmart & they are not removing from shelves. My Doctors office did research as well & said they've heard nothing & also made a few calls & said they've heard nothing of the sort. This may be a started rumor gone badd.

Good luck to all upcoming surgeries & you'll all so just fine. I've been Banded since 12/22/10 & I don't regret it. I'm happy that I did it. Good Luck all & much success.

Thank you for update on muscle milk lite. Man horrible rumor!! I love that RTD and was thinking if i could enjoy something that good everyday things wouldnt be so bad, lol. Again, thank you .

10 days to go....

How was everyone's Thanksgiving dinner? I over ate as I expected I would. I felt like it was my last turkey dinner. I know the band doesn't change my way of eating so I am praying I will not mess this up

me too.. but i ready for my new begining

I live in Fort Worth and my sugery is set for December 6th. I started my pre op diet today, so far so good! I was suppose to start on Thanksgiving day, but I didn't want to explain to my extended family why I wasn't eating. I'm going through True Results in Hurst, they've been extremely nice and helpful. I am starting to have some anxiety about the surgery. Not the lapband itself, but the IV! Of all things, I know. I have rolling veins so I'm starting to drink a lot of Water now!

I would like to lose about 75 pounds.

My husband had the sugery a month ago and he's lost a little over 30 pounds. He's done so good!

My date got moved to Dec 7th since I had to have gallbladder Surgery 1st.. I am soo excited!

I find myself wishing my date weren't so far off. I have to wait until after my finals at school and then I am butted right up to Christmas...but at least I will start my new year off right!

Hi ladies, I'm already banded but going to have surgery to fix it as originally my tubing had a leak but now has broke so its in two. Any way after bring banded I fell pregnant almost straight away so haven't had a previous fill/weight loss other than during my pre op diet. So technically I'm starting from scratch, my surgery date is December 24th :-o I have four children, so think it's rubbish, leaving them on Christmas Eve, I'm really scared too, secretly looking forward to it but trying not to get my hopes up because I've not had much luck up to know with it having a leak and what not. Again really scared :-( lol x

I will start my pre-opt tomorrow.......Does anyone know how Opti-fast taste?

I like the opti-fast the tomato Soup is the best...
