I get banded the 18th of Sept. Have started the medifast on 9/1. Mon thru Thurs I lost 9 lbs. I'm getting thru with the shakes only. Sometimes it bothers me to look at or smell food but I am holding up. Only thing left is 8th or my primary dr again and cardio dr on Wed along with another weigh-in. All else is done. They want me to have someone over age 18 home with me the first night after banding. Anyone have any problems during this time? I have 2 teenage sons at home. I may ask my friend who is going to drive me to and from if she can stay.

I've done all I have to pre op... I'm the 16th... in upstate ny (cooperstown) and have 3 boys 11 1/2 and twin 2 1/2 yr olds.

Well done on ur loss so far on the pre op...i can sympathise with the smell of foods...! But not long to go! Wish you all teh best with getting banded. The first 24 hrs i had to stay in hospital...but i would recc having someone with you, just in case. xx
