Nikki, would you let me know what your doc says about your liq diet. I am also trying to decide b/t bands - Swedish or regular? Do you have a choice? Good luck to you too!

Yay US!!! I will be right there with you. I am excited to get it done, but also scared a little. Think of me when you go in, and I will return the favor.
Best Wishes,

I'm the 15th too! And I don't have a pre-op either. I think it has something to do with your BMI - if it's high they want you to go on a pre-op diet to get your liver in shape. My BMI is 35.
Topic: RE: getting anxious, feb 14th 2 weeks away!!
I am on a 1000 calorie pre-op diet. It seems each doctor has different requirements.
My surgery is next Monday, Feb. 11. I have to start taking a beta-blocker tomorrow.

Topic: Anyone still slightly lightheaded while you are up and moving around 2 weeks post op??
Just wondering if there are those of you who still feel a little lightheaded when getting up and moving around some. Not all the time, but sometimes. I am trying to get in as much water as I can get along with my CIB drinks 3 x day. Other than that, I am doing just fine. I get a slight to dull headache every day, too. Today I heated up some tomato soup and the change of flavor, etc. seemed to help some. Thanks for any comments you can add...

Wow! You're up tomorrow. No wonder you are getting nervous. Everything will go just fine and when you wake up you will be on the losing side. Yay you!
