[pink dahlia 2,513]

Hi all , im rarely on here so I may not reply, but I was banded 2 yrs ago on dec 13, 2011 and it wasnt a problem to be banded just before christmas, I just stuck to my drs rules because I knew I would be happier with the weight loss than I would with all the food, ( hey, thats what got me overweight in the first place, so it was a no brainer ! Okay.....I did sneak 1 soft cookie !! Iwent from a size 18, 225 lbs ( with a goal of 140 lbs ) and by end of feb was down 19 lbs and my clothes were falling off of me !! I lost a total of 50 lbs by aug 1 andam now down to 159 and a size 10 ! Woohooo life s so good !!

I am getting super excited. My consult is tomorrow and my surgery is Thursday morning. I check in at the surgery center at the unholy hour of 5:45. If everything is on schedule my op should be about 6:30. I could be done and headed home by ten.

Hi Kelmet! My surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday. I will keep you posted how it goes. I too found the info and support from everyone on this forum to be so helpful and encouraging. I have been both nervous and excited about getting banded but the more I get feedback from everyone the more excited and motivated I get. I'm so ready for this.

I'm 8 days post op. The most important thing is make sure you follow your post op diet. It's not a fun diet but your doing it for a good reason. It helps your stomach, body and band acclimate to the new adjustment. Good luck and congratulations
