Hello all. I was banded last Wednesday, October 7, 2009. I just got to where I would drink more than a little sip and not feel like it was stuck. I am here to learn, get motivation and to motivate. I went through two weeks of "all liquid dieting" before the surgery and managed to lose 10 pounds during that time. I have managed to lose another three since the surgery. Today is my first day back to work since the surgery and I wish I would have taken a little bit longer. Not because I don't feel good but because my pants sit right along where a few of the entrances are and it hurts!! I read where someone else has gone through a long process of planning this and not that it is around the corner, they are getting scared. I did the same thing but it has been and will continue to be well worth it. :thumbup: I am glad my friend let me know about this site. I have found it to be full of information but most importantly, it is full of people just like me, whether they have already begun their journey, are about to begin their journey, just beginning their journey or waiting to begin their journey! We are all here for the same reason!
