:lb12: Hi all...i'm getting banded in Tijuana next month 7/17 and I was told I need to lose 10 lbs. I know that may sound like a small amount to some of you but its a huge amount to me. I'm a flight attendant and I am finding it hard to do the pre-op diet when I am at work. The lack of carbs makes me tired and irritable..not a great combination when I am flying an 11 hour flight to Asia. I am worried that when I show up for my procedure that I will be turned away because I may not lose the 10 pounds. Thanks for your time, ed
