Hmm..the doctor I consulted here has suggested a two week pre-op diet of only low fat or non-fat cottage cheese and yogurt. Has anyone else tried this? Has it worked? shal

Wow - you lost 17 lbs in 6 days? What did your pre-op diet consist of? shal

Hi everyone, My name is Shal and I am currently considering getting the lap band surgery done in Toronto, Canada. My question is this: I've read a lot of your posts about losing lots of weight, or not losing much at all. So I'm really confused. Would some of you mind replying to this post with a general sense of how long it's been since you were banded and how much weight you lost pre- and post-op? I know it's different for everyone, but I just want to get a sense of how others have responded to the band. Thanks so much - reading your posts has brought me that much closer to making the decision to get the surgery done! shal
