all i gotta do left for my surgery is this one test, and get a letter from cardiologist on teh 24th saying im clear for surgery then my last appt with family dr on 25th, then they will submit the stuff to ins they said i should definetly have the surgery by end of july/start of aug

its going by so fast. I cant wait :thumbup::confused:

oh the surgeon did say i need to lose the 5 lbs i put on this month due to Water retention and that I cant gain anymore cause if i do he will postpon surgery till i can lose it.

he also said he would not put me on a pre-op Optifast diet unless i need to lose that weight. how awesome is that???

Congrats on your impending surgery. You will love being banded.

Congrats!

Sounds like we will be banded around the same time together. I am scheduled for August 1st. I was also told I don't need the liquid diet prior either.
