I have not been banded yet, but am also wondering how I am going to have any energy to do anything after surgery, especially if I have to go back to work right away....

I get the idea of why you would want your liver smaller before the surgery, because it would make it easier for the surgeon, etc. But how do they decide that yours is too big/enlarged and you need to be on liquids days or weeks before your surgery? Is there a test or xray that they use to see how big it is? I plan to have my band in the next two months. I am self pay and have no health issues, except that I'm overweight.

New here and this is my first post. I have been reading and learning a lot from the other posts about every aspect I can think of concerning the lap band surgery. I have just pulled together the money for my surgery. I have insurance, but it doesn't cover. I plan to have my pre-op consult sometime in the next month and schedule the surgery shortly after that. I will be using Great Lakes Weight Loss in Michigan. The price is right! Hope to be thinner by next summer:biggrin2:
