"Well, that's definitely doable!" - this is EXACTLY what I said! :) Can't wait until the 10th now!
Hope all went well! I had my pre-op class today, and was so surprised it's only liquids the day before! Well, that's definitely doable! lol

I am in the process of having a revision from band to sleeve. I know Dr. Selzer is a good dr. He put my band in almost 4yrs ago. Just wondering if there is anyone who has had this revision done with him. Thank you for any input...
Here is an update: I went to see the psychologist on Friday and I am not happy with his requirements. I have to wait 3 months before they will submit it to my insurance company. During this time I have to get my sleeping habits regulated to where I am not napping during the day. I have to lose some weight. I guess the 10 pounds I've already lost since my visit with the surgeon doesn't count for anything. I also have to attend 3 support group meetings and I have to continue with my regular therapist and have her send a report to him in 3 months saying that we have made progress with my diet and exercise. Oh and I have to start a regular exercise plan. I walk to the mailbox and back like 5 times a day and that obviously wasn't good enough either. I am really discouraged.

Thought of you all day yesterday while I was sitting in class! Hope you are doing well!
Awesome! I'm a bit nervous too. I wish my class was sooner just so I know! :) But, I think I'll be okay waiting!
Good luck on your surgery!
Also, I just realized your surgery is the same day as my class!
Come to find out I was worried for nothing the pre-op diet is actually only the day before surgery and it starts out as a soft meal at breakfast and you end up as clear liquids for dinner. The pre-op class is VERY helpful it's a lot of information. My surgeon is Dr. Inman
I'm just going in for my VSG but I wanted to let you know that you aren't alone! There is actually a girl here at my work that had a Lap Band done. It hasn't worked out for her (I don't like to say it failed because she tried so hard!) but she's going in for a revision. So, please, know that you aren't alone and there are others that require revision. Nothing works 100%! :)
