She was filled to the max...They just told her that she was part of the 20% that banding is just not sucessful, as far as major loss is concerned.

I am scheduled for surgury in just 1 small week! I cannot believe it. Dr. Deol is my doctor and she is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think that I could be in better hands. I see all these sucess stories and it is so helpful. My mother was banded lost, 20-25 lbs, and then a year later has gastric bypass. So my biggest "fear" is that I will not lose the weight.

I cannot believe that in just one week I get banded. What an exciting time. It went sooo quickly! Thankfully, I am in good health, aside from the fact that I am about 135 lbs over weight, so the process went quickly. I am COMPLETLY confident in my surgeon. My mom actually had this procedure done as well...so I take comfort in that. Unfortunaly, she was not very sucessful, and went on to have gastric bypass. But here were are 2 years later and she is 150lbs smaller and 100% healthier. I guess my biggest "fear" is that I will not have a significant weight loss. I am soo tired of failed diets and weight loss attempts... Any words of encouragement....I am open.
