[/url] Hey all you September Samurai's, I was banded today by Dr. Curry in Cincinnati. It took all of 15 minutes for him to perform the surgery and all in all I feel pretty good. A little sore and dry heaving, but everything turned out great! Now I'm ready to get this weight off once and for all. I am soooo happy this has finally been made a reality. Bless all of you coming after me. Take care and lets get this party started.

I know. My husband said he was shocked when the Dr. came out and told him he was done. I guess a big part of it was my liver was shrunk really well. That's why it's so important for people to stick to the pre op diet as much as possible. I know it's hard to do cause that medifast diet is not good at all. I ended up eating skinless boneless chicken breast and tuna which I knew had little to no fat. That's the thing most people have to realize is that if you deviate, it needs to be foods that won't add fat to your diet thus creating potential problems with your liver being fatty. I'm just glad it's over and I'm looking forward to eating pureed food after 48 hours. Let's keep in touch to keep us motivated to lose weight.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are truly an inspiration. Before I read your thread I was in tears wondering if I could really do this. I am on my 7th day pre-op and just a ball of emotions. I was ready to just say forget IT! Thank you for reminding me why I am doing this. Thank you all!!
