My surgery date is 10/10 as well. It seems like it will never get here to me. It is only 24 more days, seems like 24 weeks.

Hi Kathleen! Congrats to you on your date. I can understand why you are concerned about hypoglycemic episodes. I have had that happen to me a f ew times..It's very scarey....I had mine drop as low as 41 while I was out shopping one day. I'm still pre-op. I have seen this question come up on the MAIN forum. I'm not sure what to tell you. I suggest maybe that you re-post your question on the Main board. Lots more people read/see that and you will probrably get a much better response. Good luck to you on the 10th!

Topic: Pre-surgery jitters

Hi...I am to have the lapband on Oct 10 with Dr. Srikanth at St. Francis. I am excited as I have seen the results in several friends and acquaintances. My biggest concern though is I am required to do a 10 day clear liquid diet prior to surgery. How can I handle that as I tend to get hypoglycemic if I don't eat? And working full-time.. omigosh! Once the hypoglycemic episode hits, it seems my body takes over and eats everything that isn't nailed down until it is satisfied. It's like I have no control whatsoever. Fortunately it doesn't happen very often at all...but I'm concerned with a TEN DAY clear liquid requirement. Truly it scares me and I wonder how the rest of you have handled it? I need reassurance that it is possible without messing up. Thanks for any advice you can give. Kathleen
