Hi: I am 51 and was banded on 14 September. So far I have lost 24 pounds and over 12 inches. I was worried as well that this procedure may not work. But so far, so good. I too have been over-weight all my life. I am looking forward to a NEW ME. I'm worth it. So, keep positive, keep looking forward, keep telling yourself I'M WORTH IT.

Hi there: I was banded on Sep 14th. I have lost 24 pounds and over 12 inches in the two weeks following surgery. Keep positive!!!! Things will go OK for you. I was scared too but the everything went GREAT. I wish you well on the 11th.

Congratulations! Yes, the journey begins. You are fortunate that you are a fast healer. How do you feel? I had my surgery on Friday 14 Sept by Dr. Colburn. I have lost 20 pounds and around 12 inches. I feel good and notice a big difference in my ability to walk. I still get tired. I start back to work tomorrow. I imagine that I will be quite tired tomorrow night. Keep up the good work.

Hi everyone: I am so excited to be the newest member and look forward to connecting with you. I had my surgery last Friday September 14 by Dr. Colburn in Mississauga. So I am on my 6th day and feeling very good. I am an out-of-province client. I travelled from Saint John, New Brunwick and without a support person to accompany me. I would not suggest going it alone. Between being anxious about flying, the surgery, the recuperation, being alone and then the day travel returning, it was not a pleasant experience. I would highly suggest taking someone accompany you. However, now I am home and handling the daily requirements quite well. I hope to get great pointers from those of you who have started this journey. Any suggestions for the upcoming weeks???

Hearing that you are doing well, encourages me for my operation on Fri, 14 Sept 07. Wish me luck. Any suggestions?
