Good luck to you on your surgery. I think the pre-band stuff was the worst part about it and even that wasn't too bad. Get a really fun, tasty liquid that you will have before surgery....not sure what you like but enjoy it and just think about what your end results will be. I was banded almost 4 years ago now and have lost 100 pounds....still losing now as I have stepped up my exercise by walking more. Look forward to hearing about your success!
