Hello everyone! At 280 pounds I'm so ready to get this weight off and start a new healthy lifestyle. I've completed my 6 month diet and nutrition and psych eval. I have an appt on Monday to get my medical clearance. It should be downhill from there. I hope to get a surgery date in January. I can hardly wait. I've been considering this for almost two years. I'm ready the make the nessasary changes to better my health. My doctor was trying to get me to get a sleeve because he says too many people eat around the band and never lose much weight. I'm not ready to take that step. I'm going with the band!!!

Good luck to you both! I'm being banded on the 27th!

My doctor said I will need 1-2 weeks off.

Good luck!!! I anxiously waiting for the 27th. This liquid diet sucks though. It will be worth it in the end. Please let me know how things are going.

I got my date! January 27th it is!!!!!

My surgery date is January 27th! I am so excited to start this new chapter in my life!

Thanks Bandista! Do you have any advice for a newbie? I'm trying to learn all that I can. It's seems like a lot to take in but I'm ready for the challenge.
