Hey NC,

It hit me a few hours ago....today is august 27th, my surgery is october 27th!!!!! 2 months wow!
I talked with Amber today (nutritionist) and she reassured me about the pre-surgery diet while i'm traveling.....it will be difficult but i will do it!  Now granted i tried it a few weeks ago, just for a day though....she doesn't really want you doing it for more than a day until you have to.  Well after my "breakfast'  i emailed her to let her know that my stomach was hurting like my throat had been cut!  It knew something had to be wrong since i wasn't sending any food down to it!  Well my "lunch" fixed that but I wasn't even trying to do the diet for dinner!  She took pride in telling me "i told you not to do it...but no...you just had to try it".  Well I am going to start it early because I am not trying to pass out in front of my clients in Illinois!  So i guess I'll be on it for 4 weeks instead of 3!

After talking with another patient of Dr. Fernandez about my preop appointments i found out i didn't have an appt for an ultrasound so I called today and found out I didn't have a time b/c I wasn't going to need one....What do they normally do an ultrasound for?
I'm 2 months away, I'm 2 months away!!!

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Woohoo!  Just 2 months!  Good luck with the pre-op diet.  I'm actually doing 1-2 shakes to supplement my meals each day in preparation so I hope I don't regret it!  October 27 will be here before you know it.  I'm holding my breath for an October surgery date too!
