  1. I wish you the best of luck. I am still in the "deciding what to do" phase of this process. Some of my family members are not supportive, as they really don't understand what banding is. I was happy to read how positive you are about it. It makes me feel better about it. Enjoy the new you. I may be joining you soon!
  2. Thanks for the fast reply. I found some other info that stated pretty much the same thing. I may need to find some other non-carbonated alcoholic beverage for my nights out. It will be very difficult. I love a cold beer after a long week at work. Where I live, everyone drinks beer! I will talk to my doctor about my concerns. -Lori Waiting for my insurance approval......
  3. <p>I am seriously considering getting banded. I have already done all the testing, except the psychological testing, which I go to next week. I am starting to get a bit anxious. I have also been thinking a lot about my social life. I am no alcoholic, but I like to go out 1-2 times a month and drink beer with my friends and family. I usually drink about 6 beers. Is this something the band will not tolerate?</p>
