Thank you all for your comments... I am hopeful that the fills will keep me on track. I started post liquid diet at 272 lbs. Ater the liquids, day of surgery I was 251. A week after surgery I went down to 247. Today I went back up to 251. I'm going to try my best not to eat so much before I get my first fill. Thanks again.

I think you should just follow your heart. I would have gotten banded two years ago but listening to others negative opinions discouraged me and I didn't get banded. I am now heavier than I've ever been. I decided again to do the band and I am truly blessed that my insurance is covering it so I will be banded November 4, 2010. I am currently on liquids and my starting weight was 272 (two years ago I was 245) I am currently 259 with the help of the liquid diet. With that being said, had I followed my heart two years ago, I may have already gotten to my goal weight today.

Thank you Hopee and Giby for your comments. I live in New York and I am lucky to say that my Heath Insurance will be covering the cost. I am very scared if staying on liquids and mushies but I will give it my best to succeed. Thanks again for your comments. Best wishes

Hello All, in 8 days I will be banded by Dr. Kurian (NYC). I'm soooo nervous and excited at the same time. I'm so afraid and pray so hard that I don't regret this. I am 5 feet 3 inches tall and my starting weight is 270 lbs. I've been on liquids now for 6 days and so far lost 8 lbs. Wow! I'm excited about the weight loss but still very afraid of the future with the band.
