Being banded will not make you "choose the right foods" it is a tool to help you with your weight loss journey but it is not a "fix" that will make you not eat the wrong foods.

Thank you so much for saying that, it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear!!!!!

I am considering getting banded in June. Can anyone tell me what the "pre-op" diet is all about???

Thanks!!!

Hello All, I am considering getting banded but don't know if my BMI is high enough to go through the whole experience. I am 5'4" tall and approximately 150 lbs. My weight does fluctuate a lot so I have been as much as 20 lbs higher and 20 lbs lower. The hunger always makes me gain weight back. I don't think I overeat, I just choose the wrong fattening types of foods. What do you guys think about it? The surgery has already been approved by Dr. O based on my overweight history.

Thanks for your help!
