I too should be banded in late June or early July. I have not told anyone except for those closest to me. I have overheard people talking about an x-co-worker and her being banded. For some reason, they say it's cheating. Okay well if that's cheating...I guess I have suddenly become a "cheater"! Ha Ha
Hi...I am new to this site as well. I have been looking around it for weeks and joined today. I know exactly how you feel about your previous efforts. I have been "swimming against the current" for years. I can loose 10 and gain 15 back almost instantly. I was at my all time high of 301 before I made the decision to do something about it. I can only tell you to do your research, and pray about it. Best wishes!
Good Luck! Keep us posted. I am a newby too. I have my Endoscopy on the 28th and Psyc. Eval on June 5th. I should be banded sometime in June or July...but not sure of a date!
