Any Dr. Gibbs Banders Out There?

Can anyone tell me how long Dr. Gibbs had you on a liquid diet after band surgery?  I still have a week to go and the thought of a month of this----kills me!  I am pre-surgery and already tired of liquid only meals.  :(

I have my first appointment with Dr. Gibbs to consider the sleeve so I don't have any idea about the liquid diet...yet!!!  I am so glad to see another Gibb's patient on here though.  I'll be anxious to see what you think of him throughout your surgery process.  Best of luck to you.  It sounds as if our lives will change forever!

I also do not know about a pre-surgery diet. But am thrilled to see other Gibbs patients on here! I had my consultation yesterday and have surgery planned for next Friday( July 9).  I opted for the bypass instead of the band. I wasn't sure which to get, but Dr. Gibbs felt that the bypass would be the better choice since I love sweets so much. He gave me no special pre surgery diet and I have my nutritionist appointment next Tuesday.

I also am having bypass on July 9th.  My surgery is scheduled for 9:00am.  Maybe I'll see you there.  I am the chubby 36 year old with short brown hair with white highlites (really it's gray hair!!!).  Let's stay in touch since we'll be experiencing the same things together!
