patty jean 0 Posted June 16, 2008 don't worry...you'll do fine and even wish you did this sooner. You'll take it off and keep it off. The band is a powerful tool and you can do the rest. I am so glad I got banded...it's been the best thing. Wishing you the best. Patty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yvonneb3 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Welcome Melallot, Congrats on your surgery date. You will be so happy you did this for yourself. Keep reading all the posts, starting with the beginners and pre-surgery. I'm telling you, I got all my info from this site and the Dr was pretty impressed with my know how when it came time for him to tell me anything. Ask questions, lots of people are on here willing to help you out with anything. Only thing I suggest is to try out different Protein Shakes before HAVING to drink them so you find something you like and can live with as you will be drinking a good amount of them pre-surgery, post surgery, and after each time you get a fill. Good luck Yvonne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
