First - Fanny Adams - I lived in Perth for 12 years!! Actually, in Boya. :biggrin: Second - is it easier to "ease" into the liquid diet - let's say - for a couple days sub out 1 meal with a Protein shake, and then for few days, sub out 2 meals, etc? I'm a ways off doing the pre-op - haven't even had my first official doc appt yet. But I went to a seminar last night, and put in my paperwork.

This is SUCH an interesting and informative thread! Thank you all for sharing! I've been worried about many of the same things as I look into the lapband. The emotional side of things is what I'm most worried about, and failing yet again.

Hi! I'm in NC, too. I went to a lapband info meeting a year ago, but decided to try weight watchers. Lost 26 lbs, and gained it all back. So here I am, again!! I'm looking into different Raleigh doctors - any advice? How did you choose your doctor? It'll be great to hear about your story and your surgery, as a fellow NCer. :w00t: Best of luck! -Tracey
