Bitter, I have hear that 60 is the new 50, meaning that people feel 10 years younger than their parents did at the same age. Suzie

Dear Hot Nana, I am getting banded on Aug 11th by Dr. Martin Lopez Dominguez. I have heard lots of bad things about a Dr. Lopez but this doctor was recommended to me by a friend and I trust her. I am thinking that there are several different Dr. Lopez's. I am so glad to hear that things went well for you, I can't wait to be out of surgery and begining a new chapter in my life. Suzie

Bettina, Thank you for the warm welcome, I am looking forward to getting to know other "bandsters". I love the idea of going on a cruise as mentioned in another thread. But right now I am so broke as I will be making payments on the band. BTW Happy Birthday, I love having a summer brithday, a good excuse to go swimming or have a party. Suzie

Hello Everyone, I have been reading post and thought I should introduce myself. I am scheduled to be banded on Aug. 11 and I am both excited and scared. I can't wait to lose weight, but I do worry that I will regain the weight I lose (if I lose weight). I have been on many many diets and honestly some of them worked for a while. But I always gain the weight back. A friend of mine told me to look at this life change as a new chapter in my life. I turn 40 at 350 pounds I like the idea of turning 50 at a near average weight. I would love to say that I feel better at 50 than I did at 40. By the way I live in Edmond, Oklahoma. I will be 41 on Aug 7th and I am about 200 pounds over weight. I am also on yahoo messager as SuziePlus please feel free to message me. SuziePlus
