I was banded today! Everything went well. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I am so excited to be a part of this forum. You all have been so great and informative. I cant wait to see the numbers on the scale decline. On another note ....the anatheseologist asked me why I was having the surgery. I told her to lose weight. she said I dont look like I need it. I guess I lucky to carry my obesity well. I am 5ft. 8inches my starting weight was 263 and my bmi was right at 39.8. Well enough of my rambling have a wonderful wednesday my fellow bandsters.

I can feel your excitement, I remember feeling that way as well. I'm settling in to making wise food choices and I now think every day is the best day of my life. I'm a happy girl! Congrats and hope your recovery is quick. Once you get the next few days under your belt you'll be on your way to a wonderful and healthy life. Keep the faith!

Question for you guys. I am still new to this website. I have the mobile app on my mobile phone. Is it possible to upload pics using the app?

I'm so excited for you, please keep us updated on your progress. I start my pre-op liquid diet next week. I'm praying my excitement for this surgery helps me make it through that.

I get banded tomorrow. Sounds like we have similar starting points. My starting weight was 258 and I'm about 5'7". When i was just considering the surgery i had a lot of people tell me i wasn't "big enough". Everyone is entitled to an opinion i guess.
