Don't be in too much of a hurry I found the counseling and guidance I received before the surgery extremely helpful. I know you can be impatient but I've had several medical complications since then an unexpected things like losing my taste for most Foods and I mean I can't taste them anymore , I'm only 10 weeks out and I'm dealing with an ulcer right now. In my state the University of Washington doesn't even perform Lap Band anymore they said it's not effective as you can guess. You want to do this but you want to do it the right and the safe way.

That's what you must do stick to the program including afterwards if they say Clear liquids that's what you do if they pureed for 2 weeks that's what you do. Good luck. Sent from my SGH-M919 using the BariatricPal App
