Need Help ASAP

I am going to be banded the end of Oct. and need to know what me life will be like after surgery. You see I am retired living in Fl. with my husband and right now my health is such that I can do very little. We came to Fl to have fun and meet new friends, which we did. We like to have parties, go golfing with our friends, out to dinner, people over for cocktails and hors d'oeuvre. How will my life change????? Do I want this LAP-BAND®,absolutely, I just want to know if I can still go out to eat without worrying about getting sick. Can I still have a glass of wine or two when we have people over. How about a nice cold beer after playing 9 holes of golf. Will all this come to a holt? I know I have to eat in moderation, I don't have a problem with that, I just want to know my life won't change that drastically. Can any retired person out there with a life similar to mine help me and answer my questions? I need to know ASAP as I see the Dr. tomorrow.

 

Thanks everyone. I am not a nut case, just someone who needs desperately to lose weight and enjoy what ever time the Lord gives me in this world, I don't want to walk into the Pearly gates, I want to slide in.:thumbup:
