Topic: RE: CALGARY ....NOT DOING WELL WITH LAP BAND. HELP!!
Any update? Have you been reading the RNY, VSG, DS, Failed WLS and WLS Regrets forums? Asking questions of others in your situation? Have you talked to your surgeon about options? If there isn't much damage from the band he may be able to do a revision to VSG or RNY in one operation, which would certainly be easier on you.

Topic: RE: how much weight is too much to gain before surgery?

It might be different now but when I had my surgery I was told that there was a zero tolerance for weight gain and that my surgery would be canceled if on my final weigh in day I was up. I was so scared and stress and because I didn't have to do a liquid diet I only had 2 days notice for my pre-admission and 5 days for surgery.  Lucky for me I was down but seriously I would call the clinic and talk to them.

Good Luck.

Kee.

You can either believe it will happen.....or believe it won't.  Both are self fulfilled prophesies. For Me it has happened.  My Surgery was September 21/2010

You will be fine, if you have been stable for along time they will not care that much.

A lot of things make you gain, be sure to talk to them and you should not have a problem.

Looks like you are almost there, I can tell you be sure to stay active right up to the day of your surgery, it helps a lot in recovery.

It is the colour of the sticker on your chart which tells the staff which dietitian to book your appt with.
