So, I am one week away from surgary and I am going to go to the lap band pre/post op support group today.  I am realizing all these questions that I will have after the surgery.  Like:  can I put berries with seeds in my protien shakes, how long till I can swim in a pool, should/can I take benefiber if I get constapaited, are these the right calcium supplements, etc. 

I really like using the board for questions but hardly anyone on the Maine board has had a lap band from my doctor.  And every doctor is different. 

I also am hoping they will let me weigh myself on their scales.  I think my scale is way wrong.  I just want to make sure ya know.  Anyone know if the Maine Med bariatric program will let you just weigh your self?

Going to a support group is a GREAT idea. And even if I ask questions here, I also ask my nut. and surgeon.

You are on the right track!


    
31 lbs. lost before surgery!  My goal is 150lbs.  My surgeon's goal is 110lbs.  I just can't imagine that weight right now.  Maybe someday . . .
