I am a 27 year old female who will get banded January 28th...right now I am feeling a little scared and excited! I have been big forever and I am ready to live happily in my new skin...I worried about the six week liquid diet, are you still hungry and will you be sore...how much weight will you really lose? I am 5'6 1/2 and weigh 260...Help friends!:hurray:
