Hi there milton5a!! Great to hear about your surgery date. Don't worry about negative comments re. your band as most are probably meant well but people are ill-informed about the procedure. I chose not to tell anyone about my op except my son and partner because I did not feel the need to, nor did I need encouragement or want advice from friends or family. By the way I wish I had my band fitted when I was your age!!!:clap2: Best wishes,
Josie.
