Thank you so much. I guess it's natural to be a little anxious at first. I am super excited as well because I so want the next phase of this journey to begin.

MzEboni912 how far on this journey have you been?

NikkiClem....glad to hear that you are making it on your liquid diet. That is one of the things I am concerned about....is the diet. I am sure I am going to be getting horrible headaches and the shakes just from the sugar and caffeine. I guess I will take it one day at a time and keep my eye on the prize. We have this and congrats on your upcoming surgery.

How important is the pre-op diet? I have 10 days till surgery. There is more to the diet than just drinking the Protein Shake. I have my pre-op testing tomorrow. I guess bloodwork. Looking for a buddy in the Clifton, NJ area. Anyone around here having Lapband Surgery?

The pre op diet is to shrunk your liver. Your stomache is located under your liver so the smaller the liver the better.

october 17th for me. so october bandsters what do we do now? how are we feeling? what can we do now while we're waiting to make adjustment to the band easier?

Cool finally someone else on October 3. I am not enjoying the liquid shakes at all. I have been trying to keep busy in order to forget about the fact that I am hungry.

Okay just came back from doctor and they moved my surgery up a day to the 9th of October. It's so surreal it will be here sooner than I think.
