Hi Julie
I too am being banded tomorrow. Right now I am enjoying chicken broth and water. Not bad......gotta be like Nike and "just do it!". Lol! Remember, the journey is the reward. Good Luck and let me know how things go for you.

I'm on Long Island and be ing banded June 4th by Dr Garber. Let's all stay in touch!

Sounds like both of you are doing well. Keep it going! I'm scheduled for Monday......will be anxious to read your updates!

It's been six months since my surgery. I have had two fills. I have lost 109 pounds. I have gained so much more than I thought possible. Sure, I still have the same stressors that comes with living, but being ashamed of my weight is no longer one of them. People tell me I have gotten taller. I'm not so sure about that, but I do stand prouder and more confidently with my head held tall. I have fun with clothing now, even though I do limit number of garments I buy since I don't wear them for very long. My daughters are having issues because I am no longer the fat momma they are familiar with. I told them to get over it and share my joy. I would have the surgery again without hesitation. I know it's not for everyone, but it works for me. I limit carbohydrates and always, always eat protein first. Today is good. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Are you ready for Tuesday?

Thanks.......I look forward to learning about your experience. Good Luck on the 29th!!!
