If you research the fielding, you will discover back several years ago they had a relationship with allergen who produces one of the bands. He was a fan of the band.. I went to Lennox hill and they were more straight up regarding what's the real deal with the band

Just to add I had an odd feeling you were having one of the NYU doctors when you said they were pushing lapband.

Wow!! I'm set to go soon so probably too late to change Dr's. But towards the end he started telling me the band would be better. That I'd gain all the weight back if I do the sleeve. Too bad for them I did my research. Have you already have surgery?

No I go to the Roslyn one and they're amazing . Mine is Dr. Angstadt . I just finished my 6 months and they submitted my paperwork last week so I am waiting to hear back for approval but my tentative date is June 15th and everyone in their office is so nice and encouraging . And I did my sleep study at their office . Did you just start your process ?

@chrissycakes no I'm pre surgery, took me a few appointment to find a doctor I like... I finally found one, having my consult on May 25th

Are you allowed food, food or like veggies? I can have lettuce, spinach, tomatoes and a few other low starch veggies. But only 2 cups. This is the 2nd day and so far so good.

Maybe no weight-loss, maybe inches? Or muscle gain from gym?

Yeah it's two shakes protein snacks twice a day and one meal low-carb low-fat high protein

I have my 3 of 3 for pre-op visits today. tis is my last meeting with the surgeon before JUNE 1st. I'll mention that my weight has not moved since 4/29, I think ill be ok since I cant loose that 1bmi point that is keeping me above 40 until after surgery. Oh I may have missed it in this thread, is your surgery date still the same?

Yep still the same date. Did pre-op last week. Man what I wouldn't give for one small meal. I got weighed yesterday, but it wasn't very accurate so I'm going to weigh Friday and see if anything has moved.

You shouldn't be scared and the psych and nutritionist there is so nice. And their psych really doesn't ask that much.

I think depending on your BMI and they're not looking for any major weight loss during your pre-op diet they just want to cut down the amount of fact that you're eating
