I know exactly what you are going through! I am scheduled to have surgery on 11/5 and it is all I can think about.....should I, shouldn't I, what if this or that and maybe I too can do it on my own......I'm driving myself crazy! Are they going to give your deposit back? Looking through the gallery and reading everyones success stories help me throughout the day are reassures me I'm making the right decision..........for that moment anyway!

OMG- I am soooo glad I asked! Now here is the next question- I am assuming this means beer too? I love Michelob Ultra Thanks for responding so fast! I will work on kicking my habit now!

OMG! Thanks for posting those pictures – it is so encouraging! Any you both look FABULOUS! Congratulations!

I am getting banded on 11/5 and have been browsing the forum looking for answers and support- I am so thankful for this!! I am a Diet Coke addict and drink 6-8 a day and Yes I know this is VERY bad and have been wanting to quit for a long time. Is Soda/ carbonated beverages permitted after the lap band?

Thanks! I would love to get together and chat about your experience so far! I agree, I’ve only told my husband and my best friend and it took a little time to convince them.

Thanks for taking the time to respond and make me feel more comfortable with my decision- I appreciate it!

I need reassurance from patients who have been to OCC Please! I just paid my deposit and have a surgery date scheduled for 11/5. I’m excited and scared at the same time worried that this is legitimate I just need confirmation that it will be a safe clean environment etc. If anyone would be willing to explain/describe their experience in detail – it would help me so much. Thanks!

I am scheduled for November 5th as well and am sharing your fear! I also have a 3 year old to return home to and am a very busy working Mom. I have decided not to tell anyone that I am going to Mexico for surgery as I don't need any negative feedback right now. Right now I'm nervous about the 7 day liquid diet- my problem has always been that I can't stick with anything for more than a couple of days! I feel I'm motivated now though!
