chickenfarmer Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 Hi everyone. Thank you all for your discussions. I am scheduled for my surgery Nov. 2nd. I have been considering lap banding for months and finally took the plunge. Just faxed all my papers in today. I am dealing with a lot of people telling me I am crazy....Mexico for surgery!!! I am not telling anyone else...other than my immediate support group! Any words of wisdom??? Also, is there anyone else out there with Nov 2 surgery date???? Dana
bellah Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 There was nothing wrong with having the surgery done in Mexico, the doctors and the staff were great, the hospital was clean. Very professional people. Good luck with your surgery.
CCDC74 Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 It's a decision you will never regrete. Just follow what the doctors tell you. No carbonated beverages...ever! Watch the bread, you will learn what you can tolerate and what you can't. GOOD LUCK!!!
chickenfarmer Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Posted October 19, 2005 Why no carbonated drinks?? I have never really seen the answer to that. Thankfully, I detoxed off diet coke already....I don't care about any other soft drinks. I am VERY nervous about the liquid diet before ... and nervous about making any unconscious mistakes.......UGH. Dana
CCDC74 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Carbonated beverages make the stomach expand. Which defeats the whole purpose of the surgery. Believe you will not regrete your decison. I have lost 91 lbs went from a size 24 to a size 8.....It's wonderful!
JennaR Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Absolutely terrific weight loss! Way to go!
