Hey just wanted to drop a line and say HI!! I am pretty new to the site, but thought I'd give it a whirl! I get banded on 6/28/10, so I am very anxious, nervous and excited :thumbup: I'd love to make bandster friends along my journey, so why not start here! Hope to hear from fellow GLBT bandsters Lindy

Hi, thanks for writting! I'm excited to here someone is having their surgery around the same time as me. I wish you the best of luck and wdefinitely keep me posted. I'd love to chat and see the progression between both of our journies! Can't wait to share more with you! :thumbup: Take Care, Lindy

Hey Craig! Congrats on the weight loss thus far, that's awesome to hear!! Keep up the good work. Usually by the 3rd fill I hear they hit the sweet spot, so I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's true for you! Although, I have not been banded my nutritionalist said I know far too much, lol. My mother has been trying to get me to do this for more than 3 years. Finally, I decided it was the path I wanted to go down. I am nervous, anxious and excited all in one. I'm doing the liquid diet now and it's going OK not too bad. The first 2 days were hard, but I think I'm getting over that hump. You can look at my profile and see my mothers before and afters (she looks GREAT)!!! I look at them daily as a reminder of what's in store for me no matter how many obstacles may stand in the way, I know I can conquer them! I caught myself getting down the other day (liquid diet) and had to tell myself that this is what IIIII wanted! It helped I'm going through the same doctor my mom went through, Dr. Adam Smith. He's got a great bedside manner, has been banded and knows what you're going through. I love his office folks and him. I hope everything goes well and I will defnitely keep you posted on how everything goes. Take care and thanks for writting back!! Oh and it's really awesome that you are family! ~Lindy :devil_smile:

Ha Ha...why yes I am! It's nice to meet "family" on here that's for sure :devil_smile:

Hey 29 female in Fort Worth! I will be banded June 28th so wish me luck. My mom had the surgery 5 years ago so she's told me what to expect (good, bad and ugly). She lost 150lbs and has kept it off!! I wish you the best of luck on your journey :devil_smile: Lindy

I voted for you!
