Hi All, Anyone else getting banded this November? I'm scheduled for November 1!

I've been lurking on this site for the past few weeks and I'm still trying to learn as much as I can about the lapband and what to expect after surgery.

I'm wondering what I should be doing now, 6 weeks pre-op, to prepare for surgery and living with the band. I considered starting the liver-shrinking diet right away but I'm afraid I would fall off that plan before my surgery date. Maybe I should concentrate on increasing my exercise...cause as it is I'm not doing any LOL!

Yikes! Don't tell me I'm all alone in November :phanvan

november 7th for me, in monterrey mexico with dr rumbaut, cant wait . e-mail me sometime jackye

I am hoping for a November date. Dr. Rod in Acuna. I'll know soon.

hi, i was banded on 11/28/06 just wondering how you are doing . i am still not eating good . deb woodbury ct

hi, how much have you lost ? would like to see if iam on track lost 72 since 11/06

Where is everyone? I've only lost 45 since 11/06. I'm still working on it every day. I won't give up!!!

Hi, I was banded Nov.29, 06 and I have lost 45 pounds. I am very frustrated, I have 6.5cc in a 10cc band and still don't have restriction. I haven't had a fill since October because I moved from CA to TX and I am having a hard time finding a Dr. I found one, but waiting because he left his practice to start his own private practice. I am trying to be patient, but find myself eating everything in sight. I have to stop this!! I am not motivated and feel depressed. I am praying that my next fill will give me restriction and set me on the right track again.
