In two days I'm having lapband surgery. It's been a nearly 18 month journey, involving switching insurance programs, doing all the pre-surgery testing and losing some weight before hand. In addition, I lost my job mid-way through the process. I'm not sure what to expect on Monday and am worried about the dietary changes -- and the first few weeks.
