Hi i am having the lapband surgery on July 28th i am excited but a little nervest as well. Not knowing what to exspect. I went to all the meeting required befor surgery. But i am not sure i have it all down yet. Guess you learn as you go. Thanks Dottie:ohmy:

You really do learn as you go, and this is the best place learn a lot of it. I definitely suggest going to the FAQ threads, they answered a LOT of my questions.

Congrats on your date!!! :ohmy:

You do learn as you go. You learn what you can and cannot eat by testing the food. I learned that I cannot eat apples and oranges, but unlike many others I can ea asparagus. It may be a bit frightening because it is learning to eat again for the first time, bit just be patient.

There is a sticky in one of the forums about surgery day stories. It's VERY informative...I would suggest reading it. I don't have my date yet, but I've read that thread about a million times to keep my mind at ease.

Someone also put together a shopping list of things to get prior to surgery, I believe it's under FAQ.

Check those threads out, they will help you a lot. Grats on your surgery date!!!! :ohmy:
