Hi Carol, I'm not aware of the pre-diet to shrink your liver. Can you fill me in? Does everyone have to do it? Thanks.

I'm so glad there's someone having the lap band on the same day as me! I will need your support because all of my family and friends are against me having the surgery except one friend who had the surgery in December. I read your profile and I'm glad you chose the lap band. I felt like the RNY was too drastic for me as well. The lap band will require a lot of discipline and will power. My friend who had it in December has not exercised and is stuck at 30 lbs of weight loss so far. Exercise is very important. Also, I met Heidi on this site and she said she began walking immediately after the surgery and it makes a difference. She also has stressed the importance of following the dietary guidelines of the nutritionist. I hope this works for all of us because I really don't want to have the RNY. That will be my motivation to make this work. Keep in touch!

To dream anything that you want to dream, that is the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do, that is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself, to test your limits,that is the courage to succeed. Bernard Edmonds

Best wishes on your upcoming surgery. We both wish you all the luck in the world with your recovery too. We BOTH had open rny's in 2001. Mine (Doug, aka: OLD RODEO CLOWN PANTS) was in Oct and I have lost 215 lbs. My sweet wife, Nancy, had her surgery in June and she has lost 110 lbs. We both invite you to read our profiles and hope that maybe you can get some inspiration from them, but NO PROMISES!!!! Just remember that YOU WILL SUCCEED!!!!! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOU CANNOT FAIL. From: Doug and Nancy, La Mesa, CA!
