I am also scheduled for June 11. I have been reading from this site all day. I am worried after 6 months of jumping thru hoops, i may not be approved, after reading today. I do have sleep apnea, high BP. fatty liver, high colestrol. BMI is 39. Others have been approved from my husbands company?? love the site, and needed someone to answer some questions.. thanks...

My Dr. had a patient he calls "The French Fry Lady." I guess during the pre-op diet she ate french fries everyday because she didn't really think it mattered.....Well, when the Dr. got inside to do the procedure her liver had not shrunk at all and he was unable to complete the banding and had to stop and stitch her back up. I think I would just die if that happened to me. So good luck to all of us. I can't wait to post an "after" picture someday!!

City: Trenton State: Mo | Sooooo excited!
In about an hour I am leaving for my surgeons visit and pre admission to the hospital. I will know later today when my date is. They say most likely on June 2nd or 4th. Hope the 2nd so I can be recovered enough to hang around (and probably not do much else) on the 6th for our Relay for Life. They say walking is good after surgery, but I dunno about all night!!! I am excited to be a June Bug!!

| June 4 in Mexico
I am looking forward to it, although I know a lot of hard work is ahead. I am a 58 year old man with a lower bmi, 33, but I have diabetes and the pills and insulin aren't keeping my sugars in check anymore. I really don't mind being the chubby grandpa, but I want even more to be the healthy grandpa; the one the grandkids remember, because he hung around for awhile. Change is always a bit scary, but in this case it is also necessary. Bring it on!

Some require 2 weeks liquids only, some require 2 liquid meals and one "sensible meal" per day, and some, like mine, only require an Atkins type diet. The length of the diet varies as well. Be sure to get the clear picture from your doctor of what they require. Don't go by what others here are required to do.

City: West Memphis State: Arkansas | I am new to this site but it seems to be a really good one too. I am being banded on June 10th @ St. Bernards Hospital in Jonesboro, AR with Dr. Bruce Jones. I cant wait to begin my new life. I am on a 3 week liquid diet that I got through the Dr's office and do pre-op in June 4th. Hope everyone has a good day!
