Mine was quicker than that.
week 1: Day 1-2 clear liquid
Day 3-7 full liquid
Week 2: soft foods
Week:3 pureed foods
week 4: all foods except salad and raw veggies
Salads after 6 weeks.
Edit: Wanted to add "all foods" is in theory. My Doc's manta is "Protein first, them veggies and then IF you have any room, fruit and then carbs" He never says no carbs, it is just at the end of the list.

Yes and no. I'm going for a revision and the first step based on insurance guide lines was to remove the lapband. Office forgot for a month to send in the preauth to insurance for approval, so everything is a little behind schedule.
I hate to think it is a common problem, but I suspect the offices are pretty busy and miss things in the juggle.
Hopefully you are back on track.
Sounds okay to me, except for the maintenance diet at four months. As Gwen mentioned, you should only start on maintenance once you reach your goal.

GReat job! I would give anything for 3 pounds per week. Even during my "honeymoon phase" i never achieved that! Right now. i am about 0.5-1 pound per week at best. Keep it up!

Three lbs a week seems to be the current norm, I'll take it. I see the surgeon next week for my 6 mo follow up. I hope he is happy with my progress. I would like to be in the 180's for the appointment.
And they wouldn't allow me to use my own CPAP machine. I had to use theirs, which was very uncomfortable.

I was only intubated in surgery under anesthesia. Once I woke up in the recovery room, there was no tube down my throat. I might have had a nose cannula with oxygen for a few hours. They hooked up the CPAP when I told them I was ready to go to sleep that night.
I think that's why I'm confused about your situation. Most people are intubated under general surgery conditions. It's not unusual.

I know it must totally suck, but stay strong. Hope you find something soon, & on a positive note at least you're not letting this derail your weight loss progress, so kudos to you on that! 
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.
