Question for you all... I am being banded on December 4th (next Friday.) I have an 8 year old daughter...DH and I are trying to figure out what to tell her (why mom will be away overnight). I am not sure if I want to tell her the truth, as I don't want her to worry or think that I am doing this to "get skinny" or that I need to look a certain way. Anyone else out there try to explain this to their children...especially younger DAUGHTERS?? I worry that she will misinterpret my efforts to get healthier as a need to be "thin" and beautiful.

Hi All - I am getting banded on December 4th...and am a first time poster! I am a little concerned that my doctor has said NOTHING to me about a pre-diet. Is anyone else out there not dieting before surgery?
