Hello,

congrats on being banded. I was banded on Feb. 9. 2012 and so far its been good. I wake up everyday and get on the scale and I see two lbs a day being dropped.....Since my surgery I have lost 20lbs and I feel good about it.

Welcome and congrats on being banded. I was banded on 2/15 and feeling good. I am going to avoid the scale until I go to my post op on Tuesday!

Congratulations on your decision to change your life. I have had my band over three years now and I would NOT change a thing. Do everything that your Doctor tells you to do and dont listen to the garbage out there. It is a life changing event and if you follow the advice of your Dr you will do just fine. I was an insulin dependent type II diabetic when I got my band I wore an insulin pump for over 10 yrs taking approx 100 units a day via pump.... I am well no longer requiring any medication at all. It is an awesome journey. If you look at it as a life change and have your mindset right you can do it! Good luck to you.
