Hi there, I had my band done in May 2007. I weighed 205 and am 5'2. I was turned down from BC/BS but had it done anyway. I don't regret it at all. I had some other physical problems but for me I came to the decision because of all the emotional ups and downs. Good Luck to you! Michelle

Hi May 2007 Bandsters! I am so excited and hopeful to have found this forum. I have gone back and read the past messages of all the May bandsters and can so relate to much of the discussions. Of course I also got kind of bummed because my numbers are slightly lower than all of yours but I guess as long as they're going down that is all that matters. I put a call into the nurse today to go over some diet tips and things I need to cut out. I started eating somethings that maybe I shouldn't have, like nuts. Thinking almonds would be good protein. Big mistake! Once I start on them forget it! I have been sticking to straight protein, no carbs but really wanted something crunchy. Well, I am hopeful that now having some support besides my closest friend & hubby I can walk together with you all.
