Sabrina,

Congrats on getting your date, I am having RNY but also live in your area, I live close to Concord Mills.

If you want to join a great group stop by the Lightweight forum on OH.  For folks with starting BMI between 35 and Low 40's.

Hi!  I am having my lapband on May 12th.  Had my preop testing done yesterday.   It is starting to feel real finally!!  Good luck.

Hi,

Yes, I am having the lapband on 5/26/09.  I am so excited!

I go for RNY on the 13th!  Congrats to you!  Only 2 weeks away!

Hi.  I am having lap band May 5.  I am well into drinking my protein shakes and can not wait for my surgery.  I am even excited about getting to have chicken broth afterwards.  I hope I feel like it.  I am getting very tired of the sweetness of the shakes.  Do you have to do the shakes?  Just curious.  What is your post op diet supposed to be?

Sorry, didn't mean to take so long to reply.  Life has been very hectic!!!! 

My pre op is not liquid.  I am supposed to try to eat between 1200 to 1500 calories a day and stay away from white foods, sweets etc...

So...how did the surgery go and how are you doing so far???

I am having the lapband May 22nd. It is startling to see how many people go for the RNY even if they have relatively low BMIs. Sometimes it makes me wonder if I made the right choice.....
