It took 30 days of 800-900 calories a day, no pizza, no milkshakes and more willpower than I've mustered ever before...but I am pleased to announce that I've lost
15bls of the necessary 20-25lbs lost before surgery.
17 days out. Can I lose 5 more pounds in 17 days? Bets are now being taken.

Congratulations! Is the date of the procedure dependent on when you lose the weight or do you have a date chosen?
And, yes, this is a message of encouragement!
The weight lost before the surgery (i.e., the hellish pre-op diet) is to reduce the size of one's liver. The liver rests right above where the band is placed on the stomach.
The liver, oddly, is the very first thing that shrinks when body weight goes down.
A smaller liver means less bleeding and a quicker recovery.
I'm all for reducing my liver!
