I did not choose that name lightly. If there's something to be worried about, I will find it.

I'm due for my first Dr. appt. next week and have had more 2nd thoughts that I would have thought possible.

1. Would it be possible to have the lapband placed on, follow the doctor's orders exactly and still not loose weight. (If it is possible, I could do it.)

2. That's an awful lot of money to pay, if its possible that it would not work?

Has anyone had any problems in this area? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I worry too. Not about that and I can't help you because I have not been banded yet. I worry that I will not lose enough weight on the pre-op diet and be postponed. Has this happend to anyone?

If you read these forums, you'll find several people who are "slow losers"...but they keep losing. The odds are with you though. Do you want to miss the opportunity that it "could" work, compared to the relative small chance it "may not"?

Stacy, the pre-op diet is simply to shrink your liver to protect it a little better. I only lost 5 lbs pre-op but was given the go ahead
