I am going to have the lapband done on the 2nd of September. I am excited and at the same time a bit nervous. I have to lose about 37 kgs to come to my goal weight. I am very happy I have joined the Lapband talk so we can share all our experiences and they are going to be very similar. I am on the VLCD at the moment; feeling a bit tired of it. But the doctor says I have to do it so the organs shrink and get rid of the fat so it will be easier to manouvere.

Good luck! I get my band 8/29. I've done a high protein/low carb diet for what seems like forever. My liver better have lost some weight!

I am also having mine done on the 2nd! Good luck to all of us!!

Good luck! The VLCD sounds like fun <not>...but is the means to an end! Be sure and let us know how it goes.
