Dear Lily, Welcome to Lab Band support. I too am new to this. My surgery date is April 24. My main advice is to read everything about Lapband, and I make a list for my Dr.I had my last visit before surgery this week and I am studing the guide they gave me. My hardest thing will be eating slowly and not drinking anything 30 min before and 1 hr after. But, today I bought 2 timers at the Dollar Tree to keep in my pocket to remind me. I also have a baby spoon and small fork so i take small bites and eat slower. I too have been overweight most of my life, my main concern is to hopefully get rid of my diabetes. Already since Jan I have lost 25.5 lbs PTL This is a life change, and I am ready for it. You can too! you are already taking the first steps. Keep in touch. MiMI
