LAPBAND Nov 5th Can we talk?

Hello and thankyou for clicking on me and sharing some of your time. I understand the excitement as I too now have a date on November 5th for Lap-band! I start the shakes this Monday Oct. 29th. I am looking for some wonderful friends to share this experience with. I'll be having my surgery at Harper Hospital in Det. MI. I feel so lucky to be where I am at this stage of the journey because I really didn't think it was possible for me to get this surgery but the stars have aligned. I am committed to making this work and also to be there for you too....just let me know who you are.

Hey there! You got lucky only having to do the shakes for a week before! I am stuck doing it for 2 weeks, and have surgery on Nov. 9! Glad to meet anyone else that is getting close..=)

Hi my name is unice and my surgery date is the 8th of November. Starting October the 31st I have to start my jprotein shakes for a week also.

Hello, It looks like we will be sharing a birthday. My surgery is Nov. 5th also. I will be having mine in Wichita, Ks. I feel the same way in five more days I will start a new journey in my life. I had to do a two week fast. It has not been bad, but I have cheated. I told myself I would be good this week. I did loss 5.5 pounds but she said it should have been 8 to 10 pounds, my only saving grace is that I had already loss 13 pounds going thru their program. I was told to loss 5 to 10% before the surgery. Let keep in touch and share the good and bad. I know we will make it to the other side. Take care and I pray your surgery goes well.

Hi I am also being banded on November 5th, in Hazleton,PA which is in the beautiful Pocono Mts...The leaves are changing and it is so beautiful....I am changing also.... I am finding it interesting the different approaches the physicians have with regard to the pre op diets....I was on liquid diet for 2 weeks. But I was allowed sugar free pudding adn jello, cottage (yuck) cheese, sugar free ice pops or other pops, crystal light, cream of wheat, cream soups. etc. ...it made my life a WHOLE lot easier. Lap band is fairly new around here, before maybe 9-12 months ago we would have had to gone to "the city" as in Philadelphia,NYC, etc.... I had all my PATs today and I am in like Flynn. I can not wait. I had resigned my self to being over weight, but when my diabetes went out of control this summer, I knew I had to do something....I had mulled this over for almost 4 yrs....and that was the factor for me....and the more I think about it the more I am looking forward to losing the weight AND taking control of my diabetes with out insulin!! woohoo. If anyone wants to talk gimme a holler Susan
