I know I am getting anxious. I go to my seminar on Tues. 2/5/08. Do you go on a liquid diet before you have the surgery? I sounds like it from some of the posts I have read.

I know I am anxious because I want this surgery so bad. Any hints on how to make it happen? My bmi is 54 and I weigh 305 lbs. I guess now is just a waiting game. Any other information I need to know going into this will help. Thanks.

Bobbye, During your seminar the surgeon will basically outline the procedure including whether you need to go on a liquid diet or not. Some do / Some dont'., You should have a lot of your questions answered then.
