November 2006 Bandsters

[AZA 0]

Hi All, Anyone else getting banded this November? I'm scheduled for November 1!

I've been lurking on this site for the past few weeks and I'm still trying to learn as much as I can about the lapband and what to expect after surgery.

I'm wondering what I should be doing now, 6 weeks pre-op, to prepare for surgery and living with the band. I considered starting the liver-shrinking diet right away but I'm afraid I would fall off that plan before my surgery date. Maybe I should concentrate on increasing my exercise...cause as it is I'm not doing any LOL!
