I am scheduled for Nov 9th, with Dr. Debord, Peoria IL. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I am nervous about the clear liquid diet and anxious to get on with it.

I am certain that this will be the rebirth and tool that I need to reshape my life:) And my body while I am at it.

Any pointers that I should know before going into surgery? I am all ears.

Welcome! I am fairly new here, and everyone is very nice and accepting. They're great in a sticky spot!! =)

I haven't been banded yet, but I'm almost there... Take a look around, you will find there are so many topics. Many you probably never even thought of.

Best Wishes,
