Hi,

I am scheduled for today at 5:00 for my blood work and PreSurgery Appt.....I will be scheduled for the actual surgery for next Friday March 18th.....

I am 5'4 and 220 lbs....I am 34 years old........I know it is hard to compare peoples stats, but anyone's stats similiar to mine and what were your results?

How quickly do most people go back to work?

Well my heavist weight was 220lbs and I'm 5'0" I had my surgery on 12/29/10 and had 2 fills since then. I'm down to 193 as of this morning. I don't regret getting banded and I'm happy with my success so far. You'll have some days where you get depress especially when you think you should have lost more weight than you have. But like you said already everyone is different. Good luck with your journey!

Collins33- I would say you are right on target. Mr doctor said I should loose 2 pounds a week. You are doing a little more than that!! So GOOD for you!!
