Surgery Scheduled

Hello! My Surgery is scheduled for September 14th, right after I return from Hawaii. Dr. Needleman will be doing a lap-band over my previous stomach pouch that was made in 2003. He expects the weight loss to be slower this time but is encouraged using this as a revision method. We can adjust the "fills" in the band to increase restriction. The first fill will be about month after surgery. I will be in the hospital for one night after the procedure and then home for about four weeks to recover. I will need to be on a liquid pre-op diet to shrink my liver before the procedure starting about the 23rd when I get home from Kate's until the surgery date- so no food in Hawaii!
