Waiting for my surgery date

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post on my new laptop - the key board is much different than my regular computer. I am in the process of going for the Lapband procedure. I have already met with the doctor and she indicated that I was a excellent candiate for this procedure. The insurance has already been approved and now I have to go to my first meeting in Mar, hopefully I can have the surgery in April. If it were up to me, I would go now.

I am so fed up with failing at all diet plans.

I have been trying to read everything that people have posted, its all a little overwhelming. In the paperwork they gave me gave me no indication that you have to be on a liquior diet two weeks before surgery. Maybe they will explain all this to me a my first meeting. I am having the surgery at Hershey Medical Center, PA., Dr Shoppe is the surgeon.

Can anyone give me a step by step on how they went thru the procedure, i.e. before, during and after surgery. I did watch the surgery on line live, it was being performed at Hartford Hosptal, Hartford, CT. You and go to their web site and watch the surgery.

Any info would be helpfull.

Thanks,

Eileen
