Hi Ladies,

Congrats on your weight lost. Those are good questions. Keep us posted on how your visit went.

Few things:

First congrats on you up coming banding. First the doctor won't really know what size band until he gets in there. I'm 5 2 and weighed 223... i have the large 14cc band. I have very large friends that took the small band. You won't know until he/she get in there. I was in surgery for about 30 min. Surgery was on the 10 i was back at work on the 16th...and got laid off that same day... wasn't that a great welcome back... My doctor keeps all patients over night. I was glad for it. got to stay on the pain drip it was fabulous.... Went home the next day at lunch time.

Write your questions down. you will forget. You will be nervous and under medication...

Make sure you bring comfortable clothes to wear home. I could not wear a bra home. Socks don't forget socks.

One of my regrets was not taking pictures during my process. So bring a camera and document your journey.
