I was so scared of getting the band but in the first two weeks I lost 30 pounds and I have been big since I was a child. I am still big right now but the band has cut down on my eating and it was the best thing I ever could have done. Don't be scared. (:

Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Sandra and I had my surgery 11-14-2009 and my sisters as well. We did it together because we are all big. I got the band because I want to just lose weight to be happy and to be healthy! I think this is the best thing I ever did even though all my friends are against what I did. I am glad at least I can find encouragement from this forum! :eek:
