Hi all. I will introduce myself. I am a bisexual women who is getting banded on 12/17. I am loving this sight and am so glad to have such a wonderful support system! I look forward to knowing all of you!

I am SO glad this thread exists... My surgery date is 12/17 and I am starting at 360..... Good luck to everybody!

There is a new medication that helps people stop smoking.. it is a 3 month therapy,... I have a friend who started it less then a week ago and she, within 24 hours, could not stand the taste of a cigarette. Good luck!

Hi Diva... how goes the pre-op diet?

Hey girl. I am 31 as well and am being banded on 12/17. I am nervous as heck (as I think most are) but I know it is a good decision!!! Best of luck on your journey!

Hi!!! My surgery is December 17th and I feel the exact same way as you.... excited... scares.. a bit intimated..... hoping I don't ruin Christmas.... ya know what we'll both DO AWESOME!!!!!! Keep me posted!

That you are most excited about doing/being/fitting into when you achieve your goal weight? Me... I am looking forward to playing with my VERY active 4 year old neice and not getting tired and wearing a BELT!!!!!!!!!!!! :whoo:

Ok so I posted this on the other board too, thought I would see what answer I get here. People keep saying to me that I won't be able to/I will have difficult climbing stairs (thus I need to stay with my mother for a few days instead of my house by myself) Did anybody have problems climbing stairs? Thanks Kelly :mad: Band date: 12/17/07

Welcome!!!! I am from IN as well and went to school in Indy... I too miss Indy terribly. Welcome aboard... I have only been here a few short days but this place is AWESOME!!!!

Welcome! I am from northern Indiana, about 20 minutes from Michigan. Good luck on your journey... I get my band on 12/17

Once all of my info was received by the insurance company it took a whole 48 hours to get the surgery approved (my BMI is 53) I scheduled my surgery for 2 months later strictly because I am a teacher and didn't want to miss to many days with my lovely flowers. good luck!

I plan to lose more then 50% as well..... You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So people keep saying to me that I won't be able to/I will have difficult climbing stairs (thus I need to stay with my mother for a few days instead of my house by myself) Did anybody have problems climbing stairs? Kelly

My surgery is December 17.... coming up SOON! I start the liquid diet in 3 weeks.... Where is the Indiana thread at? I am so glad to have support.....

Anyone use this doctor in Elkhart IN? I have my surgery on 12/17 with him.... he seems wonderful but any experiences shared would be appreciated.

Hi all. I am so glad I found this place. My name is Kelly and I am schedulded to have my band on December 17th. I was terrified for about a week after I found out and in just the past week have really accepted that this is going to happen..... I am extremely anxious, nervous, happy... the whole range of emotions. My biggest anxiety is fear of the unknown.... maybe that is just because I will have had 10 weeks to think about it. I am so glad this is here for support!:clap2:
