Hi Ladies, First congrats on your surgery date, Keesh32..I just had my first appointment and I really feel, I am in the right place, with LBS. My question, why do you have to do a pre op diet?

From my understanding with my patient advocate its for shrinking the liver because they work either around are with the liver in placing the band..

Thanks FatSmashBeauty!!! Yeah they told me it was to shrink the liver so the surgeon can place the band around the stomach with no problems. They said if he go in & can't get to the stomach he want place the band but u still pay like you got the band. So I said I got to do right....:-)

You're absolutely right! We had a forum member a few months ago was cut open and then denied a LB.

The liver is like handling Jello when its all fatty.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
