Hi:

I'm in Norwood, MA. I was banded July 07. I love my band. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be glad to try to help. This forum is great. I didn't find it until after I was banded and it's been a site that I visit daily since then.

Where are you being banded? I was banded at Caritas Norwood Hospital.

Best wishes to you.

Sue

I have 2 more appts then final surgeon consult then Surgery feb 11th!!!! im so excited, but did you ever hit the point or have a moment where u thought a lot about the surgery itself not the banding, but anesthesia i guess...just having a moment...def not changing my mind

Hi:

I did get nervous about anesthesia, etc. before my surgery. Then I remembered that carrying around 324 pounds for much longer seems to be way more risky than any minor surgery.

Good luck with your surgery on 11th!
