I am waiting for a phone call to schedule my surgery, hopefully in mid-October. I have been reading as much online about results/lifestyle changes of bandsters. Food choices seem to be limited for the rest of your life -- does anyone ever get disgusted that you can't have that rib-eye or choclate dessert anymore? I love Diet Coke but looks like that is a no-no. I'm having trouble thinking if I can resist but maybe if you are not hungry constantly, it helps? Looking for real answers from those who went before me. Also need to schedule time off from work -- is 7-10 days appropriate?
