Hi everyone! My band date is June 7th in Monterrey, Mexico. I am so excited! I have a little less than a month to go! I'm not nervous yet, but will get that way I'm sure. My mother was banded in August 2006 and I've watched the wt just fall off of her, I can't wait! Good luck to you all!

Lucy, I am so excited for you! My band date is also June 7th! I'll be having mine done in Monterrey, Mexico, how about you? Where will you be? I make sure to say a prayer for you too on that day.

I had it expedited, and they told me it should only take 3 weeks which would put it here by May 29th or 30th. Pray it gets here by then....it would just kill me to have to put this off.

Kelli, I don't know if makes you feel any better or not, but I am 28yrs old myself and weigh 210lbs. I stand 5'7" with a BMI of 33. I am having this surgery for many reasons...the main one being my joints. My feet and ankles swell terribly and I have some bad veins in my Rt leg. But one other reason is that I AM 28 and would like to act, feel, and dress like someone that age and not like I'm an old lady. I've struggled with the yo-yoing of dieting for at least 10 yrs and know that I don't have the will-power needed to keep it off without something like this. I hope this helps you with your decision...only you know what's right for you.

Hi all, My name is Marlynn and I am 28 yrs and going to be banded in Monterrey, Mexico on June 7th!!! I am SO excited...I get to break free from the fat shell I've been bonded to most my life! I sent off all of my passport information yesterday, making travel arrangements today, and paying full balance in 3 more days! Luckily I have a husband who would do most anything for me, and has given me the money to do this without having to finance anything...thank God. Otherwise, I'd be waiting for school loans to be paid off. Anyway, congratulations to all that have had this procedure, and good luck to the ones going to have it done! I look forward to hearing from some of you.
