Surgery Date

I have been approved for lap band procedure, which will be done August 17! I would appreciate information about post-operative diet suggestions. Thanks...

Hi Christine, congrads honey for getting your date. I don't know too much about lap band except what I heard at the seminar the other night. You usually come home the same day or by the next morning. You can pretty much eat whatever you want just in smaller portions, that you will have to keep getting the band adjusted. You won't lose weight as fast as the gastric. So when you notice you are eating more, then you need to have the band filled to make the pouch smaller. The Dr.'s fell 1-2 lbs a week is doing good. May God travel with you on your journey. Love Kathy

Your surgeon's office should have a post-op information packet prepared for you. Check with them so you can be prepared.

Congrats on your sugery date. I am sure your doctor is going to give you a strict post op to follow.

Christine, Congrads on your surgery date. It will be here before you know it. Best of Luck to you! Hugs,Lori

Congrads.....good luck
