Dylansmom, Thank you so much for this list. After 1 1/2 years of no changes (OK, no ups, but no downs either), I was desperate for help. Trouble with fills (Dr can't find port, bends needles, and then gets angry at me), so going to find a new doctor. But FIRST, I want to learn how to use the band, something I haven't done. The core plan is the thing: From that I can work out a simple weekly menu that works. Cheers, cacrider

Just arrived home after surgery yesterday. Looking again at the liquid diet requirements (and having already had the experience of being FULL after 3 oz. of jello and crystal light), I'm wondering if I've made a big mistake. But I'll chalk it up to new territory jitters. You all seem so positive about it -- that's reassuring. Well, off to rest for a minute. It's so nice and quiet home! cheerio, carol

Hi, everyone! It's been a long wait (delayed once because of a cold) but I'm being banded tomorrow. (Yes, that means today is the dreaded "drink a horse trough full of water" and try -- just try! -- to do anything else for more than 20 minutes. : ) I gave up symphony tickets to friends thinking (rightly, it seems) that I'd better stay home today.... Seriously, I am looking forward to the help the band will/should give me, and not a little nervous: did I make the right choice? will I succeed? will I blow yet another attempt to lose weight? Cheers to all, carol

Thank you both so much! It's funny how all the worries start now, not months ago when I was researching it all. : ) But I look at the online scales of weight loss and figure: YES, I have made the right choice. Thanks for the reassurance. : ) cheers, carol
