OH MY GOD!!....You could have been me 3 weeks ago....I told my husband to call the Dr and have it removed...He reassured me it was the right decision and how hard I worked and how much research I did. I understand we ALL go thru it. I think all the research and all the preparation....just didn't sink in. Here I am 3 weeks out...eating mushies..down 20 lbs. and loving my band. I had a lot of post op swelling and could barely get anything down...hence the weight loss...also had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time. Now I'm up and about doing everything and not being too hungry. Gool luck...you will DO great..keep reading the all the boards for "bandies". I'm on the boards everyday and feel you are all my support. Congratulations for now being on the "losing side"....

Hi all...on my third day of full liquids pre op. Banding coming up on Thursday, the 18th. I have lots of different feelings, mainly excited to start my new journey and to finally be able to lose this extra 100lbs that has been on me forever....:clap2:
