I am so happy it is back. My surgery is scheduled for 11/20 and reading posts on here really calms me down. I kept checking it every 15 minutes. I admit that some not very nice words came out of my mouth.

Forestcat, It sounds like surgery went well. I am so glad to hear that you are doing so well. Let us know how it goes. Good Luck, Jill

Stephanie, I know what you mean. Thanksgiving is my favorite meal of the year but I am having surgery 2 days before so I will still be on liquids. I will still be in recovery mode so I don't need to worry about being around a lot of people. I will be with my mother and sister and they will be making a small Thanksgiving dinner. My mother is going to make the dressing early so I can have some before my surgery. It is truly one of my favorite foods. I hope everyone that has been banded so far this month is doing great! Jill

Hi everybody! I'm getting banded 11/20. I've been researching for 2 years so I am so ready for this. 1st PattyPoo Nessa3678 brandymom1234 Mom_of_Chuy sanderro Holiwood Longhorn Forestcat Rhea 2nd lizzie_07 lindata KristinaDawnB lindseyann2u sconie pam726 5th DLW Hungryforchange wnt2lose jelbel 6th Wishes4444(Ann) Diva Inside ndmom kandiceb jetti vanessav 7th Goldie1109 susieq125 shadst83 Cota129 Imonmyway7368 MyLady 8th anw5102 dawndannae stranger138 needto ebrow39 Bandstertobe zippykat QUEENMOTHEROF1 9th Banded4Life neen7171 maccy mariaxoxo4u Kristin1031 Carsons mommy 10th Selisejohnson omlagirl jen6740 12th jrsyshoregrl684 suebob Shalee04 13th CCFRA Princessannod1 Tralynn222 14th lightenup! dream'n2bthin 15th steph_cn RxTracy Hopping to It- Danna sunshiny Tete2 16th Laurieu 19th Mrs Smartypants 20th Skinny_Jill 22nd luvmy4boys 26th kuchiegrl1 Tishbite2 27th 731Shawty Cherlita Julie-Ann plump_princess 28th lukin puppy 29th Sassafras

I will be banded on 11/20/07. The reason I am doing it is that I have tried diet and excercise alone and I can't stick to it. I believe the band will make me think about everything I put in my mouth because I won't want it to get stuck and be in pain. Good luck on your decision. I know how difficult it is and I've had the exact same thoughts.

Happy bandiversary! That is so good to hear. I am getting banded 11/20. I am very excited and scared.

When I told one of my good friends I was good to have LBS she said "you know you could die." She kept telling me that her friend that worked at the surgery center had a patient die from LBS. I finally got the real story that is was 2 years after surgery and had absolutely nothing to do with her band. She later apologized and everything is good. By the way, my surgery is 11/20. I set the date today so I am very excited!

I am very excited and scared! I can't believe it is actually going to happen. I've been doing research and fighting with insurance for the last 2 years. My company changed insurance companies and it is not covered so I am going to self-pay. I have been lurking on here for the past years learning about the band and what to expect. I really appreciate the honesty and everyone sharing their experiences. I look forward to getting know people in this forum.
