congats to you!!!!! i just found out that i am approved to and surgery is scheduled for oct.6th. i am a little overwhelmed that it took so long and i am finally here! i am a little concerned about the 2 week liquid diet before surgery---that will be tough--- any thoughts,suggestions, ideas?

123crod- I'm so happy that you like your band. It reassures me that this is the right decision for me.

smmajc11- Congrats! Sorry I can't help with the liquid diet. Luckly my surgeon said that I don't need to be on one before surgery. I keep reading on the boards and the folks on here are so full of help.

Good luck!
