Thanks for the replies! To answer a question, my Dr. wants me to lose 30 lbs before he'll do the surgery. I'm on 3 SlimFasts a day and all the veggies I want. I fell off a couple times the first go round but I'm up & running again and I'm determined to make it this time. I'm excited to be able to communicate here. Thanks again!

Hi, my name is Cheryl and I'm in Idaho. I was scheduled to be banded on Monday, August 14th. At my appointment yesterday my Dr. told me I hadn't lost enough weight yet (15 lbs.) so it's postponed until Sept. 11th. I was extremely disappointed and discouraged. I felt it was a huge accomplishment to have lost any weight but he did not even acknowledge what I had lost. So I'm continuing my struggle but still looking forward to the band. My starting weight was 356 and I'm down to 341. So I obviously have a long way to go, but I'm excited. I'm looking forward to the information and communication I know I will find on this site!
