Welcome Leslie.  I live in Tucson too!!!!  You are in the right place to get answers and plenty of suggestions.  I had my Lap RNY in Sep 06 and have lost 141 pounds.  I am 11 days away from plastic surgery with Dr. Gitt.  Not nervous yet, but still doing some last minute preparations to get ready for it.

Jump in here anytime and ask questions.  Again, welcome.

Welcome Leslie, I am also from Tucson. 

Thanks everyone for the welcoming.

Hi,  I am in Tucson also.  I just had the Lap Band on July 3rd.  I go to my first post op appointment with Dr. Monte Schartz this coming Thursday.  What I am now noticing is that different Doctors use different pre and post op diets.  You might want to ask why.  I didn't realize this until looking over this site today.  Something I should have done before surgery.  You were smart to get started with this before surgery.  The surgery wasn't too bad and the recovery has been fairly easy.  I'm sore and black and blue but was off pain meds in just 3 days.  Good luck.......Elizabeth
