So Glad I'm Not Alone

[CINDY115 0]

This website is a godsend! For months I've felt like I was all alone, most people opt for the gastric bypass and didn't think many people considered the banding procedure. My name is Cindy and my surgery date is Feb. 28th. We should all keep this going as long as possible so that we all feel like we're in this together. Thank you everyone that's posted a comment, the more comments I read the better I feel about my decision.

Hi Cindy

Congratulations on your date! From what I have read the people who regret getting banded are VERY few and far between. Most people, even those who have had a difficult time, say they would do it again in a heartbeat.

My date is February 7th. I am still at the nervous and excited stage and probably will be even past surgery! LOL All I know is that I want to be thin again and I'm determined to get there!

Good luck!

Cindy, I've lost most of mine watching my carb intake. That is what my doctor prescribes while you are trying to lose the weight both pre and post band. He requires no more than 30 gms of carbs a day excluding green leafy vegetables.
