My story is much like yours. Have been considering the band for well over a year now. Just banded yesterday. My 50th is in August and I was determined to make some headway with my weight by my birthday. I mean how long can I let this go on for. I'm also looking forward to the holidays being alot thinner and healthier. Good luck on the 3rd of June. I'm doing well 1 day post op and I'm sure your will too.
