I'm in the same boat. My BMI was 58 and my doctor said they usually like to do the band on people of less than 50 BMI. She was willing to do it if I lost 30 lbs, putting me at around 54 BMI. I will still have to do two weeks liquid diet before surgery as well. If you choose to lose the weight, hang in there. I know it's hard. I have 20 more to go and it's been tough. Walk, walk, walk. I have also started drinking Protein shakes in the morning for Breakfast, yogurt as a snack, and trying to decrease the amount of food I used to eat. I also try to drink lots of Water. :confused:

I like the Premier brand pre-made chocolate ones from Costco. Little bit better than the pre-made light muscle milk ones.
