Hello folks,
I've finally decided to start the process of getting banded. It's been a long road even getting this far. Convincing the wife that this is safer than being huge was a big hurdle as well.
Currently, I think I'm around 375. My doctor's scale tops out at 350. I've always been somewhat overweight my entire life, but about 6 years ago when I quit smoking, it really got out of control.
This Wednesday I'll be attending one of those free informational seminars at a nearby hospital. Luckily for me though, I've been reading this site voraciously for a while now, so I expect I'll be better informed than most - thanks to all of you!
Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences. It is really making this a less stressful experience for me.
Stephen
