Confused, need help!!!!!

Hi everyone!! Super new to this site! The reason I joined is because I am all set to have the band placed in august of this year 2010. I dont have an actual date set yet because I just have to go to one more appt. before I'm cleared and ready to go! So, anyways, I was reading everyone's journies and experiences etc... The reason I am having second thoughts and not hurrying along with the banding process, isnt because i'm afraid of the band, its because im afraid that maybe the band isnt the right choice for me?! It sounded great and does still sound great, but im thinking I may be too big and would benefit better from gastric bypass? Does anyone have any thoughts on this, and have you researched this (im sure many of you have, if not all!). I am getting married Sept 17 2011 and would love to be the beautiful bride I know I can be, and have been in the past (meaning I have been up and down more then ONCE! weight wise). I just am having second thoughts about the band and if I will lose the amount of weight I need to feel good about myself for my special day and for the rest of my life!   My stats are 5'0 and 350 pounds :sad:     PLEASE ANY AND ALL ADVICE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!! I would love to hear other people's opinions so I can decide once and for all if the band can do what I need it to I love to eat and I need restriction!!!!   Thanks all!! You all look wonderful     Kelly :frown:

It's OFFICIAL! I will be banded July 15 2010

So, as I researched all of my options and thought things over, pros and cons and discussed my options also with doctors, ,family and within myself I have decided to go for it and get banded!! I am super excited. My preop was Friday June 25th so I am all set to go ahead and do my thing on July 15th! I'm super excited and very anxious, I cant wait!! My brothers wedding was this weekend and suprisingly I didn't absolutely hate the pictures of myself but didn't love them obviously! I have been eating great and exercising as much as I can for the past three weeks and have lost 28 pounds!! I am now down to 316 from 344. I'm hoping to go in around 300 by the time surgery comes. So, tomorrow starts my LIQUID DIET aaagggghhh!!!!! Bought my sugar free stuff and im ready to go tomorrow! Feel free to leave encouraging comments haha I think I will need them and they are always appreciated!! Will post pictures up here so you can see what a mess I am, but what a mess I wont be hopefully by next september for my WEDDING!!!!!!!!
