Hi beehawk!

I am being banded the same day! Are you on a liquid diet?

Come on over to the support groups, March, 2008. There is a "master thread" there that has TONS of information. Many folks have gone through the process and documented it on there. There are many suggestions.

Come on over and join us!

Best advice I can give you is to follow your doctors instructions! The other thing I tell people is not to freak out if you don't have restriction right away. It can take 5 or even more fills to get it and until you do you can eat like before. Don't worry, it doesn't mean the band isn't going to work for you - it just means you need another fill. Get fills when you need them and don't think they are a sign of weakness. You'll do great...good luck tomorrow!!!
