I cannot believe that in just one week I get banded. What an exciting time. It went sooo quickly! Thankfully, I am in good health, aside from the fact that I am about 135 lbs over weight, so the process went quickly. I am COMPLETLY confident in my surgeon. My mom actually had this procedure done as well...so I take comfort in that. Unfortunaly, she was not very sucessful, and went on to have gastric bypass. But here were are 2 years later and she is 150lbs smaller and 100% healthier. I guess my biggest "fear" is that I will not have a significant weight loss. I am soo tired of failed diets and weight loss attempts... Any words of encouragement....I am open.

She was filled to the max...They just told her that she was part of the 20% that banding is just not sucessful, as far as major loss is concerned.

I am scheduled for surgury in just 1 small week! I cannot believe it. Dr. Deol is my doctor and she is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think that I could be in better hands. I see all these sucess stories and it is so helpful. My mother was banded lost, 20-25 lbs, and then a year later has gastric bypass. So my biggest "fear" is that I will not lose the weight.
