Hi Cblancha9, I have been a liquid diet for a week now, OMG am I hating it, what I would do for something to CHEW!!!But I have made up my mind I am Sick of being overweight and fighting the diet war. But I am sooooo nervous and worried about having made the right decision. I hope you do well with your banding, stay in touch. Hi Allwright, 21lbs in 1 month! Thats fabulous. I agree, I will put up with a little sag if it means being healthier. My parents both have Diabetes and failing kidneys, I just dont want to go there. I will keep you posted and thanks for the reply Cheers to you both, Maria

I have 5 days before I am banded. I have read so many positive posts here and I really do need banding as my weight has been up and down for years and I need banding to help me control my weight not have it control me any longer. BUT I'm starting to panic. I am concerned about all the excess skin? My doctor tells me some people are left with flabby skin and some are not. Great help he was as I will not know which group I fall intountil afterb the weight loss. I dont want toend up with skin that looks like melting wax?

HI CJ AUSSIE, I'm from SYDNEY,and get banded in 5 days. I am also starting to panic. I am particularly concerned about the excess skin, my doctor told me some people end up with heaps and some dont!!! That didnt make me feel any better cause I dont know what category I fall into! Anyway, thats enough of me, how have you found the banding? Are you doing your normal everyday thing? Can you feel it?
