Hi Cindy,

Who's doing your surgery? If you're having your surgery at the OCC you can schedule surgery as soon as Doc gives you the OK and they have an opening. They will work with you, they're great at the OCC!! I forget how long it is before you can have soda, I think it's a couple months though. [i'm not a soda drinker,... iced tea is my down fall.] You can have a happy meal after your 3 weeks of liquids post surgery. I do have a burger from time to time, but I get my first fill soon and don't know how it will go down after that. Most people have trouble with breads and pasta's after banding. Anything else, feel free to ask! There are alot of great people on this forum who are ready to help. We know what it's like to begin this journey, it can be a little scarey. Best wishes! Darlene :lb16:

I'm from central Pa., near State College. I decided to go to Mexico because the Doc's around here wouldn't touch me cause I weighed ONLY 214lbs! My insurance didn't cover weight loss surgery anyway, so I went with Dr. O!! Best decision I ever made, no regrets. Good luck on June 6th, let us know how it goes!! :good2: Darlene
