A little back round as I am not sure where I am supposed to post my info about myself.

32 yrs old

have PCOS

278 at first dr consult

269 after 5 weeks on weight watchers

265 after 1 week on the liquid shakre pre-band

one week until surgery

Contemplating surgery.

Can I do this on weight watchers and get a personal trainer to whip me in to shape?

I am one week away from surgery. I have been on the liquid diet for one week, and I am STARVING!

So far by reading blogs the results to the banding are not all so positive. Can anyone help me with ANY info or your thoughts about this surgery? Would you do it again?

I'm pre-band, but as a 'professional dieter' I already know that this is a good decision for me. I've lost major weight on diets like WW before, but keeping it off is another story. It's normal to be nervous before surgery (and starving). You'll find that many people who do well with the band no longer post on LBT because they're out enjoying life...and those with problems do come here, so the percentages of what you see here is not really what is happening. I'm sure you saw at your seminar the statistics of how well people do with the band. Only you can say if you're ready for this or not. As they say, 'the band is only a tool' and it won't work without your hard work (many that are having a hard time is because they thought the band would do it for them). For me I wish I'd done this many years ago. Good luck! -BG
