Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. I'm going to see a surgeon for the first time on 25/10/10. I am very nervous but very very excited. I hope I don't have to wait too long to get banded. I have only told my hubby (ofcourse! hehe), my sister and my parents. I don't plan on telling anyone else. I'm forever dieting so everyone else will hopefully think that I've for once fully stuck to a diet and it's worked! I can't believe you've already lost that much weight in a month. Congrats. You must be feeling great! Keep me posted. I'd love to hear about how it all goes! Good luck : )
