Hey guys,

new here, it feels nice to see there are plenty of others out there getting the band, so far all the people I have met have gone the full internal makeover way.

If god permits, my surgery date will be March 5 @ NYU in new york. So far I am a few days into my 2 week pre op diet, which I hope does not become too torturous with time. I am hoping to be able to learn from you guys and possibly help anyone else with whatever experience I gain during this time.

so.. how does one pass their time in here?

Well I spend a lot of time in the Lounge and Rants & Raves section. There are also sections for different states and countries, people banded around the same time, and all other sorts of interests.

Check everything out and you will see where you find the most value and have the most fun.
