Hi All!

Just got my insurance approval! My Drs. office called and set up September 8 for my LapBand! I can't wait!:biggrin:

Maybe we could share our journey together!

Hi there, I am also getting banded on September 8th in Wisconsin! This sounds like a nice group! Can anyone tell me how to get the ticker countdown? Thanks!

Good Luck!

Pending cordination with the proctor and my surgeon, I will be banded on either the 8th or the 22nd of September! Wow! So exciting to finally be this close!

Found out I will be on a two week liquid pre-op diet though. That will be crumby but I have just one thing to say about it.....Bring it on, baby, cuz I am ready to get healthy! Woohoo!

Hi,

My banding is near and I can hardly wait. This thread looks like a great place to find the support we may all need through this journey. I wish all of us the best of luck.

Hello All!!!

My name is Jason and I am having my surgery on September 17th!!!!! Obviously, I'm really excited and really nervous all at the same time. It's great that there are so many of us on here getting it done this month.

can anyone tell me what they are eating/drinking for their pre-op?

My pre-op diet is two shakes (Breakfast, lunch) plus

lunch: a piece of fruit

snack: no-fat cottage cheese 1/2 cup, low-fat yogurt smoothy, OR a light yogurt

dinner: 4 oz of lean turkey, chicken, roast beef or ham on 2 slices of low fat whole wheat bread, (mustard or no-fat salad dressing) OR a shake, and 1/2 cup V8 or tomato juice

Non-starchy veggies unlimited: I've eaten spinach, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, few baby carrots - usually in a salad w/ vinegar, lemon juice and splenda

Water and/or no calorie/caffeine drinks

I will be banded 9/9 and I do not have a pre-op either. I do have a day before surgery Clear liquids diet and fleet bowel cleanse. I was told that the Dr. does not want any food in your bowel in the event that the bowel is nicked during surgery. That could lead to infection. If you eat so much as a piece of toast in the 24 hrs before surgery they will reschedule you.
