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!

Banded Nov. 06 Have Lost 66 Lbs With 40 To Go...feel Like I Have Had Some Set Backs Trying To Fight The System And Figure Out How To Eat, But On Track Now Getting Ready For My 3rd Fill On 2-19-08 With Dr. Reyes In Mcallen Texas. Great Dr.

Shelli Where In Texas?

I was banded Nov. 30, 2006 Have lost 50-54 lbs. Most by June of 07, but it is still slowly droping! I am not a model patient, I eat whatever I want, don't exercise... But, thats why i was fat in the first place! This however works...I actually have a pair of size 6 jeans that are bagging!(Thank God for Wal-Mart and their over-sized sizes!)

Hi everybody. I'd eventually like to lose another 30 pounds, but I am stuck and in some bad habits. Still grateful for the band. I know it's there waiting for me to be good again so it can help me. Gosh, time passes. Hard to believe I was banded that long ago!

I'm looking for any one who has been banded in 2006!

Was wondering if they have reached their goal!:thumbup:
