I am new here also, and am scheduled for LBS on August 10 th. I am into my 3 rd day of liquids and I am doing fine with it so far. I am looking forward to my surgery,but I am concerned about those who have posted about being several months post surgery and only loosing 5 lbs or even 40 lbs. I weigh 233 and want to loose all my weight . what determines how you loose ? Is it just a gamble?

I get banded on the 10th as well! Let's keep in touch! Jamie

Thank you so much for the reply! Congrats on the amazing weight loss! It so nice to know there are a bunch of people here to ask questions to. The doctor can tell me all sorts of things but somehow it means more to hear from people who are living this. Keep up the amazing work. I look forward to hearing your progress.

And it won't be as bad as you think. Don't make it out to be more than what it is. You'll be fine

Thank you! It's really nice to feel nnot alone in this journey!

being scared is normal. Just think of all the positives. More energy, new clothes, etc. It will be awesome.

Thank you! It's nice to not feel alone in this !

Morning fellow future banders! I'm crossing over in about 2 hours. I am almost at the hospital so I thought I'd say a quick see you later! I'll post as soon as I can!

Hope you are resting comfortably!!!

I'm getting banded on the 10th ... Would love some buddies for support as we all start this journey!

Just left the hospital for my pre-surgical assessment, its offical I will be banded on Thursday, August 11th @ 11:30am.

I get banded the 10th... Would love to keep updated on how you are doing!

I FINALLY got my surgery date! August 4th!!!!! I am so excited! I feel like it's a long ways away!

Who else is getting banded in August?

Hope your surgery went well!
