Hello all, my name is Tiffany I am 23 married to a wonderful man for 5 years now. I started my pre op diet last Friday 12/14/12 and seem to be doing well on it. The Dr's office called me today and let me know my insurance approved the surgery. I am excited and scared at the same time. Any suggestions or tips before or after surgery would be wonderful. I was diagnosed with Pcos when i was 10 and diabetes I'm hoping that this lifestyle will help my Pcos/diabetes and hopefully help us with having children in the future. Thanks for reading!

Yaya congrats to y'all for getting it some already and for the ones getting it done Friday and the 31st. My surgeon called today and I have to be there Friday @ 9:30! I'm getting very excited and framed out at the same time good luck everyone

Tiffanyk, guess we really are band buddies. Lol. I have to be there at 9:30 too. Surgery is at 11. Hope these last hours fly by, I'm ready to start my new life.

Awe that's cool yes we are gonna b band buddies! I'm not sure what time my surgery starts they said 1 to 2 hrs after I get there, maybe we will be the same time good luck lets keep in touch

Congratulations to all getting banded soon. For you that dont have to do liquids, you should anyway. After surgery you have to be on liquids for 7-14 days anyway. You might as well, buy a Protein shake, Soup broths, SF popsicles, SF Jello and have it ready. I used exclusively after a trail basis of several Protein shakes, costco Premier Protein shakes, chocolate and ready to drink. 30gs of protein in 11 ounces and only 160 calories. Dont fret about the 160 cals, you probably wont be eating anything else that has calories. It will help you shrink the liver. The band will be near and underneath the liver area. Make it easy for the surgeon to do his job and you won't have that many side effects after surgery. Just follow doctor's orders.

Best wishes and Keeep the Faith.

Omg the day has come I gotta be at the hospital tommorrow at 530am ;(
