In NJ. I really need a buddy to support me through this process. I'm getting very nervous about going under. Also, this liquid diet is killing me. I want to cheat sooooo bad.

Well I was also nervous about going under as I had never had surgery before....but I was fine! And I am sure you will be too...the liquid diet is tough. You just have to do it, it gets a lot easier once you get the band. It is still hard, but not as hard as that liquid diet! The liquid diet is to shrink your liver so the surgeon can more easily place your band, so just stick to the diet. Good luck :sifone:
