Hi Barbara,
I am going to be banded on 06/07/2010, had my pre-op visits yestrerday. I too started out at 270, began this journey last September after seeing some not so flattering pictures of my self and realized that I need help with my weight. I have lost 21lbs, and weighed in at 250 at the pre-op visit, I am hoping to get to 140. If you want to chat and be buddies please write back. Good luck with your journey.:thumbup:
Michele
