My liquid diet starts tomorrow! They only gave me 3 days..

So, it's been a while since I originally posted on this page, I've changed my mind and back again about having surgery. The thought of complications scared me SO bad. But I've finally scheduled my surgery for Friday the 28th. I'm still nervous, but feel like I have no other way. I actually lose weight pretty fast, that's never been a problem, but I can never maintain it. Praying that this band will give the the little extra I need to keep the weight off. Looking forward to learning about you guys as we continue on this journey together!

Congrats RN925, on setting your date. You are not alone in this. I went back and forth too. I was banded this past Wednesday and haven't looked back. This forum has really helped me. Keep us posted.
