Hi everyone, I am scheduled to be banded on August 10 by Dr.Alvarez. I am so anxious to just get the journey started. I think I am in a good place and ready to make good use of a tool that can deliver. I have all of the same concerns I read about on this site everyday but certainly nothing that would cause me to look back. I am hoping that someone would be so kind to help me use my profile settings. I would like to start a weight and BMI chart with the cute little characters but I am pitifully computer illiterate. I want to use this site to encourage others as it did for me. Good luck to all my fellow August band buddies. vet

Hi everybody!!! This is soooo exciting. I have scheduled my appt. for Aug. 8 in Mexico. Anyone else making the trip around that time? I just cannot believe that I am doing this. But I am so proud of me. I have made quite a few sacrifices for this and am going to travel alone. I would rather be by myself than with one of my friends who keep telling me that "you're not that big." I am 5'7" 240 pounds with horribe joint pain and sleep apnea. The "barbie bunch" as I call them just don't get it. It is nice to have a place where everyone does. Thank you for having me. Ronda
