im so excited for you....i am sitting here remembering just a few weeks ago how excited I was finding out I would get banded.....congrats and God Bless you

You wil be so glad you made this decision. It is very empowering taking your life back!! Best of luck to you!

Congratulations!!! My date is April 2nd as well and I am sooo nervous.. I am sure you will be just fine

You are going to do great! I was just like you and now I am cruising along and just wish I could have done it sooner...the first year was a big struggle to adjust to a whole new life but now its very easy and I dont think about it much! Let me know if I can help at all!

You are on your way now!! I'm schedule only 3 days after you. I pray all goes well for you and ldjfairfax on the 2nd. I know you'll keep us updated.

ive only been banded since mid december and my only regret is that i didnt do it sooner ! i hit the green zone with my 3rd fill end of Feb, im down from 225 to 203 (woo hoo !!!) looking and feelin sooooo much better, and have gone from a size 1x to an xl ! ive got lots more energy, ive give 4 bags of clothes to charity and im getting lots of nice compliments on my weight loss ! my surgery and recovery was a breeze, so follow your drs orders, find a 2-3 types of exercise that you like and can stick with and you'll love the results ! good luck !

Thank you all for the support. I am actually starting tomorrow with the preop diet and exercise, yes it is three weeks before but my goal is to lose at least 10 pounds before surgery. So I'm trying to start early and don't wont any complications.
