Hi Sharon,

I did use the Isagenix prior to my band and it is a tool to get you started. That being said I lost around 80 pounds with it and my husband lost 90. Great huh? Unfortunately once I quit drinking the 2 shakes a day and the meal (400-600) calories I started putting it back on and with in months I gained it all and more back. That is why I opted for LAP-BAND®. I need a permenate tool. I simply could not keep spending the money for both of us to continue.(almost $600 mo.) Plus the cost of food.

But it would be a wonderful tool in preparing for the LAP-BAND® surgery I would think. Has your Dr. told you what to do to prepare for surgery?
Do you feel like this on the cleanse? I did and that is when I stopped doing the cleanse. It was funny, I had a rough time in the beginning but then got used to it and went months with no problems. I cleansed 1X a month then out of the blue, everytime I tried to drink the cleanse I would gag.

Best of luck!
