Hi there, Just posting my intro. I am 29, soon to be banded (Sept) by Dr.Randall in MA. I work in Gynecology and am a nursing student. I spend alot of time working and alot more time working. I also like to read, hang with my dog, swim, hit the movies, sometimes go to a bar/club. I am really looking forward to getting banded. I have been heavy most of my life, although there was a 2 year period in college where I got down to a 16 and stayed there a while.

I actually have to start a 4 week liquid diet 8/2 for my upcoming band surgery. I am not sure what scares me more, surgery (I have NEVER been in a hospital except for working in one) or 4 weeks with no chewing! ha ha.

I am new here, but this post caught my attention. I am 29, single, and will be banded in Sept. While I haven't had a problem telling my friends and family what I will be doing, I can understand not wanting to make it a part of first date conversation. That being said, I also think that before you let someone in your bed you should be able to openly discuss anything with them. If you don't feel 100% comfortable, just tell him you had laprascopic surgery. I wouldn't use the gallbladder, because that is an outright lie. Oh, and the GYN nurse deep inside me also reminds you to use protection. Get tested, use a condom, and always be honest with your partner
