OH absolutely not- My doctor does not require a liquid diet but a healthy one so my liver is not too fatty. I am not crazy out of control but I keep slipping as it gets closer and I keep thinking of things I can't eat. My surgery is Wednesday so my panic is kicking in now. I agree if you could diet perfectly you wouldn't need the help of surgery. Don't beat yourself up just do the best you can. Remember to keep a positive attitude that is your best defense right now. Good Luck, Jennifer

I am here for anyone that needs me. I had my lap band on Oct. 23 and so I am still new tho the process but know enough to know what you will be going through. Just stop by and request me as your friend and drop me a line. I will be going through this with you only a little ahead, trust me it doesn't matter if you do not have the support you need. God Bless you all! Vickie

Best wishes, thoughts and prayers to both of you...I look forward to joining you in about a week... Dawn

Did you ever figure out what was wrong with the date not showing up? I see it listed under your name...is that where you were talking about? Hope someone helped you figure it out!

I have been working on this for several months. The appropriate documentation was all sent in and I didn't hear anything:-( Finally I called the insurance company and found they had not recieved the information:-o So...I called the surgeons office and asked them to fax it to my insurance company. Tomorrow (2/5/07) I am calling them again. I have found that if you want to get these things done you have to follow up on them! I am soo looking forward to having this surgery and getting started on a new me that I maybe slightly impatient :-D I will try to stay sane while waiting but it is HARD!!!:crazy:
