My surgery date is January 8, 2014! It's been a long process of 11 months of trying to get approved. Anybody else having the surgery in January? I am terrified of the two weeks of a liquid diet before surgery. I can't get my mind around not eating anything but liquids after surgery too for awhile. If I do that now, I get very sick!

Hi,

Meeting with Doctor this wensday to set my date I am shooting for the 2nd or third week of Jan,

I wanna start the year of with a new start.

My surgery will take place the last week in January. I'm really struggling with trying not to gain weight between now and then with the holidays approaching it's going to be tough. My mind is starting to think "food funerals" already.

Mine is January 21 woohoo. I did liquid diet before with a lapband, just first 4 days are hatd

Did the lap band not work? I know another person who got the band removed and did sleeve.

I am also having surgery in January. I am having the rue n y not the sleeve.

Band sucks

Mine should be toward the middle or end of January. I am scare about the pre op diet, and I've been having the "food funerals" eating everything in site twice...at the beginning it seemed so far away but January is just around the corner and hopefully we will all be ready for the summer with a couple of pounds less. Good Luck to all.

Yeah I went to outback and had their cheese fries one last time. I'm just working out everyday so I don't gain weight.

The lap band most definitely did NOT work for me. I lost 20 lbs over 2 years and it was because my food got caught in my esophagus because the band was incorrectly placed.

omg outback cheese fries with their ranch dressing. I'm literally salivating right now. My surgery is tomorrow and I've been on liquids since Thursday. I wish I would've thought to go to Outback last week!

Ps, my band worked great for 3+ years and then it slipped and I gained 80 of my 124 lbs back. I know a lot of people that have had the band but only a couple that haven't had an issue.... Yet. It should be taken off the market

Hi Nicole

I am booked on the 16th January. I am having my band out next Friday, I lost 35kgs (70+)lbs but had issues after my second baby.

Nervous ill gain in the 8 week gap between surgeries.

I finally got my date of January 8th for surgery. I cant wait and am looking forward to it. Does anyone know if there is a January 2014 group? I would make a group but I wouldnt be able to keep tabs on it...

Woohoo
