Hi All, I'm not being banded until 1st March but CANT WAIT..... am learning so much from this site and just want to say CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for your amazing weight losses you are an inspiration to me. It's nice to be able to read others experiences, so far in discussing my decision with friends and family I have had really negitive feedback so its so refreshing to see others with the same goals and speak to people that understand.
