Hi Dianem and welcome!!! You are very close to your surgery day - congratulations and good luck!!! It is normal to be a little bit nervous, but I must say that it is rare to read someone say they are enjoying their pre-op shakes :rolleyes2: Keep coming here and reading and asking. We are here to support you and help you out, now and after you are banded. Again... good luck and take care!!! Becky

Hi there Diane

Your surgery should be over and done now. Hope your recovery is fast and smooth.

I was banded on the 23rd April and am doing ok (touch wood!). Feeling a lot better now that I can have full fluids (milk, yoghurt, Protein drinks, smoothies, pureed Soups, etc).

There's a forum for all the April bandster's HERE - in case you'd like to share experiences with others of us being banded at around the same time. It's a wonderful place for support.

Also, you've been added to the list of April bandsters HERE.

Hello and welcome to LBT! COngrats on the surgery.

Hi. My fiance and I just went to SOCH's seminar. Did you use Dr. Reich?

Great start!! Yes I did have Dr. Reich and Dr. Strom they were great I had my lap band done April 24,Down 21 lbs.already I never feel hungry.I had to do the 6 month nutrition but you will be surprised at how fast it goes by.The staff at their office was great,all my appointments were done right across the street from the office all done in the same building.Any questions you have just let me know if I can help.I have another friend who will be ready in Sept. so I let her know the best protein drinks and stuff. I live in Little Egg Harbor.:redface:

Welcome from a former Jerseyite. I lived in Toms River for 60 years. I was banded in Kansas on 4/10/09. Glad to hear you are doing well.

Great weight loss!! Your Dr. did a 1st fill quick,I think I have to wait till 6 weeks.But I feel really great never really feel like eating.
