Hi! Welcome! I was banded on Nov 26, just over 6 weeks ago. I started at 249, and was only a few lbs lighter for surgery, so I use that as my start wt. Right now, i'm at 213, so I've lost 36 lbs! I had a very easy surgery and recuperation and I followed my Drs orders post-surgery. That's critical. Where are you getting banded? In the US or Mexico? I live in MD, and was banded by Dr. Greened. You should also jump on the blogs and ask lots of questions. Most of the people are great, and although none of us are Drs, learning from our own experiences and those of others that have gone through it is very good. The surgery is definitely worth it and I totally understand you wanting more info.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I check the forum and email almost every day. Feel free to email me directly, My email is rhondapeer@yahoo.com.

Best of luck to you!!!!! You'll do great!!!!

Rhonda
