Thanks blanham04 for asking your question because I'm also just about to start this journey and that was one of my questions regarding "food restrictions".
Just today I scheduled an orientation with the surgeon and dietician for the Lap Band procedure. I'm trying to decide if this is something I want to pursue. I have a lot of question, concerns and fears. I'm really excited to have found your forum to hopefully help me through this journey I'm thinking of making. :-)
