Try not to worry too much:) Did your doc tell you that if your bmi dropped too low then they wouldn't do the surgery? The reason I am asking is because I went to my consult with a bmi of 35.6. I didn't have a pre-op diet because my bmi was low. On the day of surgery my bmi had dropped to 34.6 or somewhere close. I was below 35 and my doctor said it didn't matter. He told me that I had been obese all of my life and a few pounds lost before surgery is no big deal. So maybe your doctor will feel the same. Good luck with your band!!!!!!!!!
