I am wondering how much water can you drink comfortably? I drink almost a gallon a day. Not only do I love water I am on medication so I need to drink as much as possible. Will I still be able to do that with the band?

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I want to do this and I feel I am getting closer.

Hello everyone, I have been wanting this surgery for 2 years now. Last fall I booked my surgery and then canceled because I was scared I would not make it through, some complication would happen and my family would never see me again. I am so torn I am now 260, 5'5 and I just find it physically uncomfortable to be at this weight. I also have high BP, cholesterol, and PCOS. I need help so badly but am so scared. Have you heard of anyone not making it through? What is the worst complication you have had? Also I love to drink water I drink about 2-4 liters a day, will I still be able to do this? Thank you so much.
