Hi all,

Just got my date of 4/9. I've been going through the process for quite a while and it feels good to have everything taken care of. My doc wants me to go on 2 weeks of liquid before the surgery, so I'm trying not to get carried away with eating these next few weeks.

I've been reading this forum for 4 or 5 months now and it has been very reassuring to hear from people who have gone through the same process. I'm sure as I get closer I'll be bombarding the boards with questions!

My band date is April 14,I have been on my liquid diet for 5 days and lost 5 lbs. I hope by the 14th that i will drop 5 more!

hope you all are doing well!

I am scheduled for 4/23 at Madigan Army Medical Center in Washington. I am really excited. Been trying to drop the 10 lbs my doctor requires before surgery and am only 3 lbs away from that. Been drinkin alot of slim fast and healthy choice soups and going to the gym to do cardio almost daily.

:frown:

Hello Everyone! This is my first post. I am scheduled to be banded on April 18th. They will also be repairing a hiatal hernia at the same time.

I am having to do a 2 week pre-op diet of subsituting 1 to 2 meals a day with a protein shake. My Dr. requires I lose 7 to 10 pounds before my surgery date. I am 33 years old and my current weight is 222.4 and I am approx. 5 ft 3" tall.

I was banded on 4/4. Home recovering. Kinda second guessin my decision.... o_O a lil scared

I was banded April 2010. Satisfied with the way the band works. I wouldn't change it for anything.:Banane08:
